Erik OBrien

I will watch 3 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

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 4 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

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

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.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

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

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

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

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.

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