The North Texas Green Team is a group of cross-functional Deloitte professionals who aim to make Deloitte a more sustainable place to work while empowering our fellow practitioners to take action on climate change and live more environmentally-conscious lives. For more information or to get involved, reach out to our North Texas Green Team at ntxgreenteam@deloitte.com.

In collaboration with New York University (NYU), Deloitte is launching Sustainability Simplified, designed to help you understand the sustainability, climate and equity challenges our clients are facing. This four-part series, led by Professor Tensie Whelan, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business Director, will both engage and enlighten you. From an education on corporate sustainability trends and ESG strategy, to the basics of climate change and the implications for the global economy, to the return on sustainability investment by businesses - you’ll have the opportunity to dig into the science behind the climate crisis and the equity topics shaping the market today.

At Deloitte, sustainability is one of the key focus areas for activating our purpose. If we each take an individual climate action today, we can make collective positive change in our communities and be a part of living our purpose commitments.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will replace 40 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I spend 30 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will replace 20 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
