In celebration of Earth Day 2025, we organized a whole month of eco-friendly activities throughout April, culminating in a community park cleanup that made a visible impact on the local environment.
A beautiful start to the weekend
On April 26th, dedicated our volunteers rose bright and early for a “Trash Bash” at a local park.
This event, part of the broader Keep America Beautiful and Don’t Mess with Texas initiatives, was hosted by the City of Grapevine and brought together community-minded individuals determined to make a difference.
Armed with grabbers, gloves, and collection bags, volunteers diligently collected litter of all sizes—from the smallest cigarette butts and bottle caps to more unusual findings including plastic eggs, toys, roof shingles, and discarded gum. Their thorough efforts resulted in a noticeably cleaner park environment that all community members can enjoy.
“It felt great to give back to the community alongside my coworkers,” one Consilium team member shared. “Taking part in something hands-on like cleaning up the park was a simple way to make a visible difference, and it was a rewarding way to start the weekend.”
Following their hard work, volunteers were invited to join the Grapevine Earth Day celebration at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens, a fitting conclusion to their environmental stewardship efforts.
The City of Grapevine’s Volunteer Services and Beautification Manager expressed gratitude for the team’s participation: “Thank you for participating in the Don’t mess with Texas Trash-Off. We hope your group will join us again next year! Thank you for your help and support!”
Earth Day indoors
The celebration wasn’t limited to the park cleanup. All throughout April, we implemented in-office initiatives to promote sustainable practices.
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Our team enthusiastically contributed to a plastic bag recycling bin that was overflowing by month’s end, diverting significant plastic waste from landfills.
Bring your mug to work day
Team members were encouraged to bring personal reusable mugs and cups to work, successfully reducing the company’s single-use cup consumption. To incentivize this eco-friendly behavior, participants were entered into a raffle for Consilium-branded reusable cups.
Supporting local business (and biodiversity)
For the third consecutive year, Consilium provided special coupons from Grow It Land Designs in Coppell, TX, promoting support for local businesses and encouraging employees to add native plants and flowers to their gardens.
Celebrating Earth Day
On April 22, employees received biodegradable notes that will bloom into colorful wildflowers when planted, creating new habitats for pollinators. Accompanying the notes was a collection of resources on how to develop more earth-friendly habits in daily life.
Benefitting The Earth and All Who Live Here
These Earth Day activities reflect our ongoing dedication to corporate social responsibility and community engagement, showing how businesses can make meaningful contributions to environmental protection through thoughtful planning and employee involvement.
