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)

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

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

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

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

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.

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

I will watch 6 documentaries about climate change.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 2 people about what I learned.
