Earth Day is coming up on April 22! Celebrate more sustainably with these Rockwell benefits and tips for leading a more eco-friendly life.
1. Give Back to Your Community
Make an impact in your local community by volunteering or donating to an organization near you. In honor of Earth Day, choose a cause that puts conservation first through green activities like trash cleanup, recycling projects, community gardens, and wildlife rehabilitation.
Through ROK in Action, Rockwell gives you 24 hours of paid volunteer time off each year to serve the causes you care about. Rockwell will also match up to $5,000 in donations to your chosen nonprofit through the Dollars for Doers and Matching Gift programs.

3. Make Small Changes to Live More Sustainably
Helping the environment starts at home. Here are a few easy swaps and eco-friendly habits you can start today:
- Choose alternate modes of transportation like walking, biking, carpooling, or public transport to reduce emissions.
- Switch to LED lightbulbs and turn off lights when you’re not using them to limit energy consumption.
- Opt for reusable items like water bottles, coffee cups, drinking straws, and shopping bags to cut down on waste.
- Shop locally, when possible, to boost the local economy and shrink your carbon footprint.
- Go paperless with digital versions of your documents—like bills, pay stubs, and benefit statements
Together, we can take small steps to make a big impact for the planet.
