    As we wrap up this Earth Day eco-challenge, let's celebrate the progress we've made towards creating a more sustainable future. Every action we took, whether big or small, helped to reduce our impact on the environment. But the work doesn't stop here. Let's continue to build on this momentum and make eco-friendly choices every day. Remember, sustainability isn't just a one-time event, it's a lifestyle. Let's continue to inspire each other to make positive changes for our planet, and together we can make a real difference in preserving our planet for future generations.
  • Reflection Question
    Climate & Ecosystems Ecological & Xeriscape Gardening
    What ecological or xeriscape landscaping practices do you have? How has your landscape changed from these practices?

    Jo-A Lozano's avatar
    Jo-A Lozano 4/30/2023 8:19 AM
    I did xeriscape landscaping practices by using drought-resistant plants, takingbout and reducing plant which consume a lotnof water, and using mulch to retain moisture in my garden. Since then, my water usage has significantly decreased, and my garden requires less maintenance. Additionally, the native plants attract more pollinators and other beneficial wildlife.

    Jo-A Lozano 4/26/2023 6:42 PM
    Mending clothing can be a creative and practical way to extend the life of our clothes, reduce waste, and save money. It can also be a meditative and calming activity that allows us to slow down and focus on a single task.

    Reducing food waste can be a powerful tool for sustainability. By planning meals, buying only what you need, and using up leftovers, you can save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and help combat food insecurity. Let's all do our part in reducing food waste and promoting a more sustainable future.

    How is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?

    Jo-A Lozano 4/25/2023 10:17 AM
    Planting trees can provide a sense of accomplishment and purpose, boosting self-esteem and improving mental health. Additionally, it involves physical activity that can provide numerous physical health benefits, such as increased strength and flexibility. And finally, being in nature has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

    I had a great time speaking at the coffee talk organized by Circlub 22 of the Asian Institute of Management about the importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in today's business world. It was an honor to be invited to share my insights with such a knowledgeable and engaged audience.

    I strongly believe that companies that prioritize ESG considerations like Emerson are better positioned to achieve long-term success and create sustainable value for all stakeholders. It was encouraging to see so many professionals who share this belief and are actively working to integrate ESG principles into their organizations.

    I can't believe that it's already day 22 of the Earth Month Ecochallenge, it has been an incredible journey of learning and growth. Not only have I discovered new ways to reduce my carbon footprint, but I've also connected with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for creating a sustainable future. It's been challenging, yet rewarding, and I'm excited to continue exploring new ways to make a positive impact on our planet
