Go Green with Zest!
Each month, the CG Zest Wellness Platform rewards members for committing to healthy behavior. This month's Healthy Habit Challenge coincides with Earth Day. It is a reminder to protect the Earth by avoiding disposable plastics, such as shopping bags and water bottles.
Plastic is a non-biodegradable material, which most of us do not recycle. 50 percent of the plastic we use is thrown away. Make a difference by avoiding disposable plastics altogether during the month of April. If you haven’t already, track the Healthy Habit "Go Green" from the Contribute to my Community thrive area throughout the week.
Don't forget to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. There are many simple ways to contribute, even at work:
Share the road. Take public transportation or carpool with a friend.
Think reusable. Bring your own thermos to the coffee shop on the way into the office, and pack your lunch in glass containers.
Use less paper. Use email to share documents, and if you must print, use both sides.
Find your green thumb. Bring a small plant to liven up your desk.
Take the stairs. Get a bit of exercise while saving some of the electricity required to power the elevator.
Power down. Shut down your computer when you're away from your desk and don't forget to unplug your charger.
