Emerson Americas Sales

I challenged my sales team to an Earth month photo contest- and one of them took this picture while he dropped off some household chemicals for recycling....

Cleaning our Pacific Ocean in Lima-Peru

I take shower of 5 minutes every day and turn off the faucets while I soap up :)!

I did it!!! When I take a bath, I turn off the faucet while I soap up :) and I take shower of 5 minutes. I only wash clothes that are very dirty or require it.

Happy Earth Day! Did some hiking at Cedar Ridge Preserve- beautiful trails on a beautiful day!

I watched Seaspiracy, and one of the most important things I learned is that there is no standard definition for sustainable fishing. Also, "farm-raised" fish are not necessarily and better choice than just forgoing seafood in the first place. I'm not sure how this will be reflected in my buying and eating habits, but it has me...

I love having nature close to me so we hung up a wren house right off of our back porch about 10 days ago, and we have a couple already building their nest in it. Carolina Wrens also love to build nests close to humans💕 Maybe we will have babies in a month or so!

I watched "Kiss the Ground" and it was interesting to learn that regenerative agriculture and biodiversity on farms can be more profitable than traditional "cash crops" or those grown for livestock feed.

I buy organic produce selectively- and mostly in line with the clean 15 guidelines- but I also like to buy seasonally available, locally grown produce when I can- reduces the transportation footprint. A good read on the modern food chain is The Omnivore's dilemma.

We have a larger composter outside, but use this to collect our kitchen cuttings thru the week. Composting and recycling greatly reduces our landfill waste. (plus my garden loves the results)
