Sachin's actions
Climate & Ecosystems
Plant a Tree
SDG 15
On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 30 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.
Health & Equity
Practice Mindfulness
SDG 3
I will spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
Basic Needs & Security
Calculate Your Water Footprint
SDG 6
I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
Education & Livelihood
Stay on the Ground
SDG 11
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.
Economy & Communities
Analyze Your Utility Bills
SDG 7
I spend 5 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.
Basic Needs & Security
Watch a Documentary About Food, Water, or Basic Needs
SDG 6
I will watch 10 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.
Climate & Ecosystems
Attend Emerson's Global Earth Week Webinar
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.
Climate & Ecosystems
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.
Climate & Ecosystems
TAKE EMERSON'S SUSTAINABILITY TRAINING
I will take at least one of the Emerson Global Environmental Sustainability Training modules available on the Global Learning Center to learn more about this important topic for the company.
Basic Needs & Security
Reduce Animal Product Consumption
SDG 2
One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.
Basic Needs & Security
Try a New Vegan or Vegetarian Recipe
I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.
Health & Equity
Spend Time Outside
SDG 3
I will replace 60 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.
Health & Equity
Learn and Discuss The Health & Equity SDGs
SDG 3, 5, 10, 16
Each day, I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 30 people about what I learned.
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?

Sachin Tere 4/11/2023 2:57 AMI try meditation sitting idle with eyes closed and invariably various thoughts keep on coming....Post ecochallenge action tip on mindfulness, I started sleeping with flat back and head trying to imagine sensory movements of the body and voila...amazing experience!! Try it out and you might hear sounds that you won't hear otherwise, sense the inner organ movements and feel much fresher. -
Sachin Tere 4/03/2023 10:05 PMUsing good old hankie instead of tissue papers could help, per person - CO2 reduction by approx 3 to 5 kgs/year and save one third of standard size tree...effectively in 3 years save 1 full tree. -
Sachin Tere 4/03/2023 9:42 PMWas able to convince my son to reduce hot shower time from roughly 7-8 mins to under 5 mins. Everyday he is challenged to finish bath while one of his favorite songs (<4 mins) is played. By now reduced 1.1 kg of CO2 emission (calc based on electric boiler) and hoping to reduce emissions by 105kg in a year.
