April 23 at 7:59 PMHoping for some good weather for our tree planting activity on Friday, but the forecast is for thunderstorms. Not too many days left in our Eco Challenge month.
-
April 23 at 6:38 AMThe hardest thing is how limited the options can be for trying to eliminate plastic. Many household products used to come in glass and cardboard containers, but that is rare now unless one seeks out a specialty retailer. Target and Walmart don't make it easy to be green.
-
April 23 at 6:05 AMThe logistics of this action were more challenging than I anticipated. There are so many demands on our time that even the lunch hour has become full of meetings. I attended someone else's LnL, and it was educational and productive.

April 22 at 6:31 AM"100% carbon commute" today.

April 22 at 6:29 AM#earthmonthatEmerson #earthmonthecochallenge. Happy Earth Day! Find a way this month to take action. Emerson and its employees are engaged across the world with conservation and sustainability actions for ourselves, our customers, and our planet. Here's a few snaps from my 100% carbon commute into the office today. Ready for the sustainable...

April 21 at 6:36 PMOur garden club had our annual seedling event last week. I got tomatoes, basil, rosemary, jalapeno and poblano peppers, and a geranium. Looking okay so far! They need to stay indoors for another month or so.
-
April 21 at 4:32 PMI made a small pile of everything that would have gone in the garbage. It is small, but includes some recurring things like some packaging on skin care products I buy. I need to find an alternative that has less packaging than the actual container of product! And I will keep recycling and composting and saying no to things I don't really need.
-
April 20 at 5:54 PMIt was a chilly and windy Saturday so it was a good day to visit all the Earth Day vendor displays at a nearby mall.
-
April 20 at 5:45 PMI have been able to explore new areas of my community as I deliver meals to people in neighborhoods I haven't visited before. I've met some colorful and interesting and primarily grateful people who appreciate my help. It has been a privilege.
-
April 19 at 6:23 AMJust realized I had already signed up for this distribution list before this year's EcoChallenge started. The monthly newsletters provide good information. I'm not always able to attend the webinars, but I like hearing what progress other companies are making towards sustainability.
