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

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

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

I spend 30 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.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

Make a commitment to have a kick-off Green Team meeting to brainstorm for ideas on what your office will want to accomplish. Coordinate with your office director and DPN to facilitate.

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.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 30 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.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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 replace 15 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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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