You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge 2025: Conservation expert in no time!
"I am a newbie to the EcoChallenge but excited to make it a practice to find ways to give back to the environment, connect with people, and find ways to make a difference with every action. "
Donate or volunteer on Emerson E-Waste Day
Join The Trail Conservancy and The Rowing Dock in the Earth Day Jubilee by volunteering to cleanup the land and water of Lady Bird Lake

Become a Sustainability Aficionado or invite one of your colleagues to join if you're already tuned into the program.
Get involved! Join your local Green Team to connect and work on local sustainability initiatives. Or, participate in one of the many Earth Month activities they've organized.
Kick off your meetings with a "Sustainability Moment" to keep environmental awareness top of mind. Even better, develop new "Sustainability Moments" tailored to your specific location and work, making the connection between sustainability and your daily activities even stronger!
Learn about our new Sustainability Pathways initiative and implement 1 action under each of the pillars from the most appropriate persona.
Learn about sustainability by taking two Green Pill modules on Emerson Learn. Choose the topics that appeal to you most!
Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 10 people or perform 10 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.
Staying connected strengthens relationships and boosts well-being. Each day, I will reach out to 1 friends or colleagues to check in, have a meaningful conversation, or offer support.
Supporting local businesses helps keep communities vibrant and resilient. I will choose to shop at 4 local businesses or restaurants, with a focus on businesses owned by people of color, local farmers, or community members.
I will spend 10 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.
Tues., Apr. 8th, 5 - 8 pm: Join other members of the Green Team at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center (4801 La Crosse Ave) to enjoy time outside. Wildflowers will be in bloom and you may be able to spot the Wildflower Center's resident Great Horned Owl! Family and friends welcome, admission required - reserve a spot in advance at https://lbjwc.ticketapp.org/portal/product/43?
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 50 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
