On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 5 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meals each day.

Shoes are one of the most carbon intensive items we buy. Donate your lightly used shoes to be given a second life. Donation box will be available near the café in WW (Starting April 5th) to make it easy!

Let's practice a sharing economy by bringing our books to share at Micro Motion! A table will be set out (April 17-April 21) in the West Wing near the café.

I will sign up to the Sustainability Aficionados distribution list to receive global news on sustainability at Emerson, including world news and Greening OF, BY and WITH news.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

On Wed 19th April, I will attend Emerson's Global Earth Week Webinar to learn about the importance of individual action in our collective journey to sustainability.

I will take at least one of the Emerson Global Environmental Sustainability Training modules available on the Global Learning Center to learn more about this important topic for the company.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.
