Article: At a minimum, your EMP should ensure your organization is compliant with all environmental regulations that govern the area where your organization operates. You may be looking at federal, state, and local regulations. Find regulatory information online by searching for the word "regulations" along with the name of your industry or sector. For example, in the US, federal regulations are grouped by the sector or industry they cover. If you owned a furniture building company, you would look for regulations that cover the furniture manufacturing sector. If there are grants or tax breaks available in the region where your organization operates, these may help you set goals. Since grants and tax breaks are typically offered if you exceed regulatory minimums, they provide incentives to set your goals beyond mere compliance.  For example, your government may have grants available to help your organization switch to sustainable fuels or install solar panels. If you were initially planning to convert 50 percent of your power to sustainable fuel, the grant might enable you to convert 100 percent of your power. If your organization meets the qualifications for an environmentally sustainable business, there may be tax credits that you can claim on the organization's taxes. Once you have a good understanding of what is required of your organization legally, you're ready to decide what you want your organization to accomplish. If you're not already compliant, make that an initial goal. Then think about how much further you would like to go beyond mere compliance.  For example, you might set a goal to reduce your organization's carbon footprint by 20 percent in the next 5 years. To measure this, you would need to get a solid estimation of your organization's current carbon footprint, as well as various changes you could implement to lower it. Keep in mind that almost any goal can be made quantifiable. For example, if you wanted to improve your company's image as a friend to the environment, you could conduct a poll to find out what the public currently thinks of your company. If 50 percent of those polled said they strongly felt that your company was environmentally friendly, you could make it your goal to increase that to 70 percent. Review the resources available to implement your EMP and make a reasonable estimate of how long it will take your organization to achieve your goals. Set smaller benchmarks along the way so you know if you're on track towards achieving your goal by the deadline. If you're not sure how long it will take you to achieve the goals laid out in your EMP, or if you think you're being too ambitious, research other organizations in your industry and find out what they did. You may even be able to find other organizations' EMPs online that you can read over and compare to your own. Your environmental policy is a declaration of the basic environmental principles you intend to uphold as an organization. It doesn't have to be long or complicated. However, it should directly communicate your organization's environmental values and how you accomplish them. Your environmental policy is the underpinning and guiding philosophy behind your EMP.  Your environmental policy should also include a basic statement that your organization intends to comply with all existing and future laws, regulations, and standards that are applicable to your business. For example, if you own a company that builds furniture, your environmental policy might be "Here at Fancy Feat Furniture, we focus on creating quality, durable furniture that will last a lifetime while also protecting the Earth. To accomplish this, we use organic and sustainable materials, dyes, and finishes. We follow through with this commitment by maintaining strict standards that exceed regulatory requirements in our industry."

Some plants emit a smell that bugs find repellent, which can transform your home from an insect magnet to a bug-free haven. Add a variety of indoor and outdoor plants to your property so as many insects are driven away as possible.  For outdoor plants, try lemongrass, chrysanthemums, marigolds, petunias, and pitcher plants. For houseplants, try bromeliads, citronella, catnip, jade plants, and Venus flytraps. Like plants, some herbs also have a repugnant smell to insects. Grow a few bug-repelling herbs around your home or look for natural cleaners that contain herb oils for a fragrant alternative to chemical cleaners. Bay leaf, mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender are all bug-repelling herbs. Mix lemon eucalyptus oil with water in a small spray bottle and apply it to fabric items you want to keep bugs away from. While the oil is usually effective, it does not last as long as chemical cleaners—re-apply the oil every 2 or 3 days for lasting benefits. Add around 5-10 lemon eucalyptus oil drops per 1 cup (8 oz) of water. When shopping for natural repellents, check the ingredient list to make sure it doesn't contain any strong chemicals. Check the online reviews for natural cleaners before you purchase them to make sure they're both safe and effective. When looking for natural cleaners, avoid bug repellant made of DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535.
