Week 10 (March 13-19): One Meal a Day Without Meat Consumed

Reducing meat consumption has the potential to make a big impact on both personal and environmental health. According to Harvard Medical School, there is evidence to suggest that vegetarianism lowers the risk for heart disease, various cancers, and type 2 diabetes. Read more...

Week 9 (March 6-12): Conduct a Walking Meeting or Take Walking Breaks While Working Hybrid/Remote

An awesome way to incorporate activity and time outdoors into your work life is through walking meetings. A walking meeting is exactly what the name implies: a meeting that takes place over a walk instead of in an office, coffee shop, or stuffy conference room. Read more...

Week 8 (Feb 27 - March 5): Hybrid Work Schedule / Use the Extra Time to Be Active

There are many ways today to use technology to improve your work life. One option is a hybrid schedule, which combines on-premise and remote models and creates a unique (and more flexible) environment; one where team members alternate time in the office with a bit of remote work. Read more...

Week 7 (Feb 20-26): Let's Talk About: Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT, is a part of your daily routine, even if you didn't know that. It is part of the natural energy exchange that occurs when you are awake and not eating or exercising. It is the normal active state for virtually all of your ordinary activities. In fact, for highly active people, it comprises about 60% of your metabolic activity. Read more...

Week 6 (Feb 13-19): Stress Management

Week 3 (Jan 23-29): Public Transportation to Work / Home

A fourth option for getting to and from work is using public transportation. Like carpooling, you are sharing a ride with others on public transit, which reduces road congestions and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, many public transportation systems are shifting to run their buses or trains on more sustainable fuel sources. Duke is a leading example of this, since they rolled out their first partially hybrid buses in 2011! Read more...

Week 2 (Jan 16-22): Walk to Work / Home

Though walking to and from work may seem impossible during the cold winter months, there are plenty of ways to ensure that walking and other outdoor exercise can be safe and pleasant all year round. Read more...

Week 1 (Jan 9-15): Bike to Work / Home

According to the EPA, 28.9% of 2020 greenhouse gas emissions came from the transportation sector. Thus, biking instead of taking a bus or car can greatly reduce your personal carbon footprint. Read more...
