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

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 2 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 45 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Rainwater collection reduces water waste and supports local needs. I will install a rain barrel or collect rainwater to use for outdoor tasks, such as watering plants or cleaning.

Celebrating achievements helps teams endure challenges. I will help organize ways to celebrate group or individual successes in my organization to build morale and resilience.

Conserving water helps protect this precious resource. I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!

Growing food builds resilience by connecting us to the soil and reducing reliance on long supply chains. I will grow edible plants—such as herbs, vegetables, or grains—in my home, balcony, or community space, strengthening both my food security and local biodiversity.

The MS150 has been part of Minnesota's history of community and resilience to support those in need and Donaldson has been a long-time supporter and participant in the event. I will join the MS150 Kickoff event on Wednesday, April 1 at the 1400 building Experience Center  to learn about the event and ways to get involved. There are various opportunities to support Team Donaldson.

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

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.
