Learn about sustainability by taking two Green Pill modules on Emerson Learn. Choose the topics that appeal to you most!

Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.

Working together to clean up public spaces helps the environment and builds community. I will participate in 1 community cleanup efforts in my neighborhood or local area.

Access to clean water is a basic right, yet not everyone has it. I will spend 5 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is affected.

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 1 people or perform 1 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will spend 5 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

A clean community benefits everyone. Each day I am outside, I will pick up 2 pieces of litter to keep my community clean.

We have adopted Hester’s Crossing between I-35 and CR-172. With adopting this road, we will be cleaning it up once every 2 months. We will meet out front of the East Building Lobby at 8:30 and split into groups.

Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside, then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.

Come join the Emerson Austin Green team as we partner with Keep Austin Beautiful and the TreeFolks Young Professional group to clean up Yett Creek. Meet us at 9:00am, Saturday April 12th at Yett Creek Park in Austin.
