SMART SEAFOOD CHOICES: After researching this topic to a small degree, it seems clear to me that not all fish are the same in terms of their environmental impact. some types of fish are significantly more costly to farm than others (per gram of protein that we get from them.) According to Wholely.com, the worst offenders for the environment are...

ENDANGERED SPECIES: I have been researching on the Colorado Parks & Wildlife threatened and endangered species list, and I was particularly focused on the amphibians and fish species (such as the Razorback Sucker or the Couch's Spadefoot) that are becoming endangered due to human development of dams and the various chemicals that we pump...

In honor of Earth day yesterday, I joined the neighborhood effort to clean up our local greenway! It was as easy as taking the dog for walk and bringing and bag (and a glove, some of that trash was nas-ty!) to pick up trash along the way. It was so easy and something I hope I will do every once in a while outside of an organized event!

I was extremely confident going into the challenge that I was going to breeze through it, only to find myself going to the trash can again and again all day. It's easy to be conscious about obvious waste substitutes (such as using a reusable...

As a bonus these let air circulate better around vegetables...

STAY ON THE GROUND I have reconstructed my trip to Brookings South Dakota to see my little brother's graduation. I was wavering over whether or not to drive/ fly to this event, but this final reminder was exactly what I needed to hear to decide how to travel. Thanks Ecochallenge

RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF FRESHWATER AND OCEANS: I had no idea how incredibly impact, and inspiring that the ocean was to our everyday life. According to Ocean Conservation Trust, " From mermaids to the kraken, the Ocean has been fascinating humans for centuries. It is difficult to imagine what it must have been like to set...

🖥️ E-WASTE RECYCLING DRIVE 🖥️ I have to say, after completing this event I feel great, rejuvenated in this challenge even. donating my semi-functional, old TV to a better place really made me feel like I was making a difference. Thanks Ecochallenge!

Happy Earth Day! Great to see the engagement & discussions across our organization and at our suppliers too!

Wanted to give a belated shout-out to Seth Harris! He prepared a great presentation highlighting sustainable initiatives our customers are undertaking and how Emerson is supporting and enabling their efforts. It made me feel proud to participate in such an organization, that not only promotes sustainability internally, but it is also working...
