Earthx2024 Congress of Congresses for North Texas Day
This day long symposium is free and open to all residents of North Texas interested in learning more about what their local governments, regional agencies, non-profit organizations, and local businesses are doing to increase the sustainability and resilience of our North Texas home.
The day begins with conversations about the future of infrastructure in North Texas, parks and greenspace, and local elections affecting our implementation of these green initiatives. Early afternoon will be focused on environmental justice issues including clean-ups, air quality, and the building of more affordable housing without sacrificing sustainability.
There will be presentations from local entrepreneurs and leaders who are building aspirational projects with an eye towards sustainability and net zero development. The day will close with a newsworthy presentation from the staff of DFW Airport presenting for the first time information about the cutting edge sustainability being included in the planning of the new Terminal F.
