This Spring, UTD JSOM Society of Sustainable Business (SSB) is collaborating with One Earth One Chance, a DFW-based nonprofit focused on taking action against climate change, seeking to restore a green, clean, and sustainable planet. Together, we’re launching impactEarth, a sustainability-focused entrepreneurship competition challenging students to develop innovative business models addressing critical environmental issues. The winning team will receive seed funding to bring their vision to life. With the groundwork for this competition complete, we are now seeking support in the following areas to bring it to life: Seed Funding: Investment directly funds the most promising ideas, helping these teams transition from concept to execution by enabling market research, providing necessary resources and equipment, and creating prototypes. A year-end update will detail fund use and progress. Mentorship, Judging & Expertise: Mentors provide invaluable guidance, empowering students to refine their models, validate their ideas, and navigate the complexities of launching a sustainable venture. By partnering with us, your organization will be featured and promoted on our website and newsletters, granting access to a diverse pool of talented students for job opportunities. You’ll also gain access to a community of industry leaders through SSB-hosted events, providing valuable opportunities for collaboration and networking. Most importantly, your support will drive innovative solutions to critical sustainability challenges and help nurture the next generation of impactful business ideas. Please let us know if you’re open to a quick call to explore this further and participate as mentor, judge or sponsor in this exciting competition!

Here's what you can do to make a difference: 1. Replace single-use items - bottles, paper, shopping bags - with reusable options. Throw litter in trash cans and recycle metal, paper, and plastic per city guidelines. 2. Shop products that are locally sourced and with minimal packaging is. 3. Turn off air conditioning at home, if possible, and harvest rainwater for irrigation. 5. Opt for Meatless days to reduce your carbon footprint and compost food waste. 6. Walk or bike for transportation, if possible and unsubscribe from mailing lists. Climate change is the biggest threat of this century (per Lancet Commission). Every 2 seconds, a forest the size of a football field is destroyed. Trees can reverse environment damage Climate - Trees stabilize air temperatures, prevent extreme weather Air - Trees produce O2 and absorb harmful emissions and CO2 Water - Trees reduce runoff and retains table, water scarcity is looming Soil - Trees improve soil conditions, prevent erosion and depletion Species - Endangered animals, birds and bees can cohabit with humans, less disease, physical/mental health Good and bad - Amazon is not a carbon sink/ emitter, Costa Rica, Chernobyl Reforestation is cheap, available and something we can get involved with. Our primary focus is to reforest our community spaces and protect the health of people, nature, and our Earth. We raise funds for tree planting with irrigation installed through community “art”reach events.
