Tudor's actions
Climate + Air
Collect Waste during the Walk/Run
Collect any type of waste during your walk and run. It will help you to create a habit during the walk or run and will motivate the others to do the same.
Climate + Air
Stay on the Ground
Carbon emissions from air travel is harmful to planetary and human health. Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Climate + Air
Use Muscle Power
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Action Track: Community
JOIN OR CREATE A GREEN TEAM AT EMERSON
I will continue to contribute to Emerson's environmental sustainability goals beyond April by learning more about the Global Green Teams Network, joining a team near me, or maybe even creating a new team.
Action Track: Community
SIGN UP TO RECEIVE NEWS ON SUSTAINABILITY AT EMERSON
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.
Action Track: Community
TAKE PICTURES AND SHARE ON LINKEDIN
I will take at least one photograph that is connected with this year's theme of Nature Conservation & Biodiversity (for example an urban park, bee hives, birds and other animals...) and I will post it on LinkedIn with the hashtags #EarthMonthEcochallenge #EarthMonthAtEmerson.
Action Track: Community
ATTEND THE ECOCHALLENGE CONSERVATION WEBINAR
On Wed 24th April, I will attend the Earth Month Ecochallenge Webinar on Conservation to learn about what individuals, companies and other organizations can do to promote biodiversity and nature protection.
Action Track: Community
Sustainability Lunch and Learn
Learning in a social setting can inspire connection and change. I will work with a friend or colleague to plan and host a lunch and learn at work, school, in my neighborhood or other location to learn more about an environmental topic important to me. After the lunch and learn, I will share more about it on the feed.
Action Track: Community
Pick Up the Phone
I will gather a group of friends, family, neighbors or colleagues to make 3 phone calls to public officials or companies to advocate for planet-friendly policies.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Invest in Nature
A healthy world needs both our daily actions and support from larger systems. I will spend 15 minutes learning about how I can use my investments and savings to advance environmental sustainability.
Climate + Air
Declutter My Home Without the Landfill
Each day, I will learn about responsible ways to dispose of items and de-clutter, clean, donate, repurpose or recycle unneeded items in my home to make sure that what I get rid of doesn't go into the landfill.
Climate + Air
Choose Renewable Energy
Renewable energy options are becoming more widespread and accessible. Not only are they good for the planet, they can help save money as well. I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will contact them to advocate for this option in the future.
Land + Forests
Advocate for Forest Protection
Using my voice can help create a more sustainable and just world. I will contact 1 local, regional, or national decision makers to advocate for public policy that protects forests and improves their ability to sequester carbon and nourish biodiversity.
Land + Forests
Carry My Trash
I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me this month, to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill. I will post on the feed my reflections, conversations, and actions I will take moving forward.
Land + Forests
30 for 30 in Nature
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 (in a large or small patch of nature), then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.
Land + Forests
Zero Waste Day
The impacts of our waste are far reaching. I will create zero waste for an entire day and share my reflections and learnings on the feed.
Freshwater + Oceans
Low Water Gardening
Grass lawns are water-intensive and on average require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. Native plants are water-efficient and help maintain the balance and diversity of local ecosystems. I will plant native species with water-efficient plants to conserve water and improve the habitat, then post a photo on the feed to share.
Freshwater + Oceans
Reduce Pollutants in Cleaning
Understanding cleaning product ingredients and their effect on water and biodiversity is helpful to our consumer choices. I will spend 20 minutes learning about how cleaning products affect our water and try making my own cleaning products to reduce pollutants.
Freshwater + Oceans
Go Plastic-Free
Millions of tons of plastic is produced each year worldwide. Each day, I will conduct a plastics audit of what I buy and use throughout the challenge (kitchen, bathroom, personal care products, etc.), to see how single-use plastic shows up in my life. I will find plastic-free alternatives to these products and advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, product manufacturers, at work, or on campus.
Action Track: Community
Volunteer in my Community
I will volunteer 4 hours in my community.
Freshwater + Oceans
Join a Cleanup Effort
I will organize or participate in a trash pickup at a local river, beach, or natural body of water.
Action Track: Community
Plant Trees
Trees capture carbon and produce oxygen that is essential to life on earth. I will support this important piece of nature by organizing or joining a community group to plant 5 native trees in my community, public parks, office location, campus or backyard.
Participant Feed
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?

Tudor Sevciuc 4/25/2024 10:27 PMThe following benefits that were identified during the EcoChallenge process.- Reduction in Environmental Impact: By promoting sustainable practices, EcoChallenges can lead to a tangible reduction in waste, energy use, and other environmental impacts. This is particularly effective when many people participate and make small changes that collectively lead to significant environmental benefits.
- Education and Learning: EcoChallenges can be educational for participants of all ages, teaching them about topics such as recycling, the importance of biodiversity, and the impact of carbon footprints. This education can spur further interest in environmental subjects and lead to more sustainable lifestyles.
- Empowerment and Positive Engagement: Participating in an EcoChallenge can make individuals feel empowered to make a difference. It can shift the perspective from feeling overwhelmed by global environmental issues to taking positive, actionable steps at the local or individual level.
- Health Benefits: Many EcoChallenges encourage activities such as walking or biking instead of driving, or eating more plant-based meals, which can have health benefits as well as environmental ones.
- Innovation and Creativity: Trying to live more sustainably can inspire creativity, as participants think of new ways to reduce waste, conserve resources, or improve systems in their homes or workplaces.
- Economic Savings: Many sustainable practices promoted in EcoChallenges, like reducing energy use or minimizing food waste, can also lead to financial savings.

EcoChallenge can bring a variety of benefits to individuals, communities, and the environment. The concept of an EcoChallenge generally involves taking part in activities that promote sustainability and environmental consciousness over a specific period. Here are some of the key benefits such events can offer:
- Increased Awareness: Participants often gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues and the impact of their daily choices. This increased awareness can lead to more informed decisions beyond the challenge itself.
- Behavioral Change: EcoChallenges encourage participants to adopt new, more sustainable habits that can lead to long-term behavioral changes. For example, by focusing on reducing plastic use or conserving water, participants can develop habits that they continue to follow after the challenge ends.
- Community Engagement: These challenges often bring people together, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. This can be particularly powerful in creating group norms that favor sustainability, and it can encourage a culture of environmental stewardship within organizations, schools, or broader communities.
