Earth Day, which falls on April 22nd is a great day to show awareness and appreciation for the environment. Started 47 years ago, Earth Day gives us an opportunity to be sensitive to Earth and to adopt sustainable development.
Planning to celebrate Earth day in office? Here are a few tips that you will find useful.
Think how you commute: Every year, cars release approximately 333 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trains emit 100% less hydrocarbons and carbon monoxides, which makes it a more eco-friendly way to travel. Public transport options like buses emit only 20% as much carbon monoxide per passenger mile as single-occupant automobiles. So, encourage your staff to use public transport or adopt measures like car pooling to leave the least possible carbon imprints and cut down the air pollution risks.
Reuse: Any ecofriendly campaign is based on the three principles of reduce, re-use and recycle. By making small changes in our daily routines and being a bit more sensitive to nature will go a long way in making Earth a better place to live. Americans spend about $5/week on bottled water, which not just adds up to the land fill but also cost $260/year. Using reusable water bottles will reduce the trash and the green house effect. Likewise approximately 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide, which translates to one million bags every minute. Hand out Reusable tote bags and water bottles customized with your brand and message as employee gifts on this occasion to do your little part in reducing the junk.
Save Power: Reports show that 50% of all office workers in America who use computers do not care to shut it down at the end of the day. It causes emission of 20 tons of CO2 per year apart from increased power consumption and low life span for the machines. Encourage your team to turn off the computer and lights before leaving office. Solar flashlights or solar power banks will make great custom gifts to remind your employees to save power.
Sustainable promotions: Make sustainable development the mission of your organization. It will not just reduce the negative impact on the planet but will enhance your brand goodwill and repute among the audience. Studies show that customers patronize companies that are ecofriendly. Around 50% of consumers prefer to support brands with strong environmental reputations.
Volunteer: Encourage your employees to volunteer and propagate Earth day message. It is a great way to spread awareness about this day in the community and to let them bond with their colleagues. Custom T shirts imprinted with Earth Day messages will make a great choice to show your company pride while volunteering.
