Suzanne Powers

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

If you have kids at home, encourage them to create a logo for Deloitte NPSI using scrap paper and any crayons, markers, or materials you have in your home. Email a photo of the final product to Emma Howe ([email protected]) for a chance to be featured in our Earth Month recap email and potential future internal communications!

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during Earth Month Ecochallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will commute by bike 4 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
