Heeya Lee

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 120 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will call my elected officials to ask about what they are doing regarding water issues in my region.

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

I will watch 2 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will call my elected officials to ask what they are doing regarding equitable gender participation and representation in my region.

I will replace 70 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.

Improving sustainability in the workplace is a group effort. We have the biggest positive impact when we get everyone involved. For the Singapore site, fill out the attached survey to help brainstorm ways we can make our workplace greener.

I will organize a book club to read about climate change and sustainability.

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 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.
