Earth Day is approaching… Earth Day is on April 22, 2013 so just about a month away. Does your company or organization do anything to celebrate this holiday?
Many companies celebrate this holiday by hosting on-site events, creating “green teams”, recognizing and rewarding achievements, and coordinating community service efforts. As many recognize, Earth Day efforts go beyond just one day but Earth Day or Earth Week can be a great way to recognize your sustainability efforts throughout the year. It is an opportunity to highlight, engage, and drive future involvement in sustainability projects throughout the year.
At Pinnacle we have cleaned up our local parks, signed pledges to live a greener lifestyle, as well as participated in Earth Hour. Earth Hour this year is March 23rd from 8:30-9:30pm where you switch off your lights for an hour to show your support and concern for the environment. This event has grown into a full global community of millions of people in 7,001 cities and towns across 152 countries… pretty amazing!
If you are preparing for upcoming Earth Day events or just getting started, I have put together an inspiration board of promotional products that can be incorporated in your events or celebrations. Check out our EarthSmart pinboard too
The Earth Day Seed Paper Mini-Gift Pack is a 100% recycled info card and letterpress printed plantable seed paper globe, packaged together in a corn-based cello bag. This is an inexpensive way to present a gift at your event or even mail to clients since it’s lightweight and flat.
The Pietra Recycled Stone Paper Notepad is the perfect eco-friendly item to show your company’s commitment to the environment. It features ecological paper that is made from stones, so its manufacturing process does not involve tree cutting.
Priced under $1, Recycled Flyers are a great giveaway item for an outdoor Earth Day event.
Laminated 100% Recycled Grocery Tote is a common product that is associated with being “green” but because it’s so useful (especially with some states plastics bag bans) it is still very popular! This bag is made from 100% PET recycled fabric and comes in 8 bold colors with stock designs.
Let us know what fun and unique things you’re doing to celebrate Earth Day this year… we’re always looking for fun ways to celebrate Mother Earth!
