Read WSP’s Climate Transition Plan, which details how we plan to reduce GHG emissions. We began implementation of our Low-Carbon Supplier Engagement Plan in January. Learn more about it by listening to our supplier kickoff webinar. Increase your climate literacy, take the 2-part Climate Solutions Accelerator Course on the WSP My Learning Platform.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

Spend 15 minutes learning about the Emerge Program at WSP. Emerge is WSP's strategic alliance program that seeks early-stage companies with novel solutions as strategic partners.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

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

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 120 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will watch 2 documentaries about education or work.

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.

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

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will replace 40 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.
