Composting turns waste into a resource, building soil health and cutting methane emissions from landfills. I will compost food scraps at home, school, or in my community, which avoids sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 2 meatless meals meals each day.

A wellness-focused conference centered on healthy eating habits, providing practical guidance from a nutrition expert to enhance overall well-being and foster sustainable lifestyle improvements.

Being prepared can save lives during emergency situations. I will tour my Donaldson facility to identify where the AED/Emergency Kits are located.

Meditation helps build resilience and clarity. I will spend 10 minutes each day to meditate or create a moment of silence each day to reflect on things important to me.

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

Shared projects at work strengthen teams and build organizational resilience. I will host or join 10 cleanup events with colleagues, classmates, or group members to improve our environment and strengthen collaboration.

Healthy waterways are essential for resilience. I will volunteer for 20 hours to clean or protect local rivers, lakes, wetlands, or coastal areas to support ecosystems and communities.

Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is a simple way to boost our personal health and support a more resilient food system. I will prepare and enjoy 3 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Reducing energy use is the foundation of Donaldson’s decarbonization strategy. I will watch the video on this link to learn about energy efficiency opportunities and examples across our sites and submit a reflection through the reflection form in the Sharepoint link

The idea is to create an activity to build community with co-workers and exercise together as a team

We will organize an activity with co-workers to water and build soil basins around the trees planted last year.

Donaldson recently published their FY25 Sustainability Report, highlighting how we are embedding sustainability into the way we operate. I will review the FY25 Sustainability Report and a complete a short quiz to test my knowledge of Donaldson's sustainable practices.
