Small Green Changes, Big Impact

This Earth Day (April 22), join us in making small choices that contribute to a healthier planet. From biking to work to reducing plastic waste, there are many simple ways to go green—while saving money at the same time.

Your benefits can support eco-friendly living too! Look into health savings or commuter programs that reward greener choices, and check if your company offers incentives for sustainable commuting.

Eco-Friendly Ideas That Save Money:

Opt for reusable lunch containers and water bottles.
Commute via public transport, bike, or carpool.
Switch to energy-efficient appliances at home.
Reduce food waste with better meal planning.

Take Action: Check your employee sustainability perks or explore local Earth Day events to get involved.

Go Paperless and Simplify Your Benefits

Streamlining your benefits isn’t just good for you—it’s good for the environment. If you haven’t already, go digital with your benefits documents and communications. From e-delivery of pay stubs to mobile-friendly health plan access, paperless is the way to go.

Benefits of Going Paperless:

Access your benefits info anytime, anywhere.
Reduce paper clutter and environmental waste.
Receive alerts and updates faster via email or app.
Secure and store your important documents digitally.

Financial Spring Cleaning Checklist:

Cancel unused subscriptions and automatic charges.
Review and update your beneficiary info.
Reassess insurance needs (life, disability, etc.).
Set a savings challenge for the next 90 days.
