Kim’s Product Pick of the Week: My Favorite Reusable Lunch Kits

I love a good sandwich.

Turkey and cheese on wheat? Yes, please. My love of sandwiches along with a personal goal to bring my own lunch at least four out of five days makes our latest batch of lunch containers an essential part of my daily routine.

In addition to the nutritional benefits of packing a healthy lunch, cutting back on take-out containers and disposable storage containers is an eco-savvy way to live. If you’re considering launching an effort to promote sustainability and reduct unnecessary waste, consider distributing lunch kits to your employees or clients.

Harry Potter’s Emma Watson Promotes Eco-Friendly Apparel

With the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 quickly approaching, the hype surrounding the movie’s three main stars is bigger than ever. Almost a decade has passed since the public was introduced to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first installment of the Harry Potter movie series, and since then the frenzy surrounding the three main characters and the franchise as a whole has remained constant. Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who play Harry Potter and Ron Weasley respectively, have long since delved into projects outside of Harry Potter. Emma Watson, however, who was named Hollywood’s highest paid actress in 2010, has only just begun to break free of her Hermione Granger mold.

Watson enrolled at Brown University in September 2009 and is currently involved in the filming of The Perks of Being a Wallflower but the exact details of life post Harry Potter are still uncertain. The famed actress, who advocates fair-trade fashion, is quoted in July’s issue of Vogue magazine saying that she “wants to explore more of her creative side,” which some speculate could refer to the creation of more eco-friendly apparel. Watson’s interest in eco-friendly apparel is so strong that she has even offered to work for free as long as the employer is willing to produce fair-trade organic clothing.

For Earth Day Promote Sustainability with Recycled Promotional Products

At eco-friendly festivals across the nation, screened exhibitors distribute recycled promotional products, teach natural living, and share the most recent developments in “green” technology.

In the past, these environmental groups and Earth Days alike have inspired changes in social behavior. Legislative acts such as The Clean Air Act and the Clean water Act were implemented as a result of community efforts. Therefore, it is important to draw awareness to events, businesses, and communities such as these. Every business and or individual can make one small change to promote sustainability. Whether it is distributing customized recycled promotional products, changing to energy efficient light bulbs, or recycling office papers, each act is a step toward an environmentally sustainable society.

In the spirit of Earth Day, consider promoting your environmental efforts to employees and clients. By distributing recycled promotional products customized to fit your brand, your company is helping to spread the sustainable word.
