Michelle MacPherson

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will replace 30 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.

I will spend 120 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I spend 3 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.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will commute by carpool 2 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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.

I will spend 5 minutes per day learning about Slalom’s impact and environmental action by reading the 2021 Impact Report and viewing resources on the Earth Month SharePoint page.

I will research my client’s sustainability goals and actions and work with my account team to brainstorm ways Slalom can help.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.
