Ms. Coogan will give a talk titled "Earth Day 50: Zero Landfill in Auto Manufacturing and National Parks” which describes Subaru’s efforts to become the first “zero landfill” automotive assembly facility in the world, a goal achieved over ten years ago. Per Ms. Coogan, that talk offers “an examination of developing a zero landfill program; how reduce, reuse, and recycle can be environmentally and financially successful.” She will also explain “the principles needed for a waste reduction program to work in manufacturing and how those principles were transferred to the national park service.”

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.
