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.

Join the national webinar on Wednesday, April 26 with Dr. Ayana Johnson and Dr. Katharine Wilkinson “A Conversation with Climate Experts". (@ 11:00am-12:00pm CST)

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will replace 30 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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

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.).

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.
