Greening Corporate America
Loving and
caring for the environment has never been more critical than
it is in our age, when threats of climate change and depleting
natural resources hang over our heads.
Choosing
to be environmentally conscious should not be done just
because it's fashionable to do so. We're all affected, and
it's a situation that shouldn't be taken lightly. Each us of
can do a little every day to ensure we don't contribute any
more to ruining the environment.
On
Earth Day, April 22, renew your vows to care for nature by
integrating eco-friendly practices in your
operations.
Here are some tips to start
with:
• Replace plastic and paper bags
with reusable shopping bags, like this azo-free jute tote. Retail stores can encourage
shoppers to use this eco-friendly bag through a customer
rewards program.
 Jute is a natural fiber and thus
biodegradable. It is known for its durability and heat- and
fire-resistant properties.
• Encourage your employees to take
the stairs or to take short walks instead of drive. Not
only is it environment-friendly, it's also a healthy option.
Give them a personalized pedometer so they can monitor their
mileage.
According to a study, those with pedometers
walk 2,000 steps (or a mile) more than those who don't and
burn 100 extra calories a day.
• Use recycled products. It
supports the recycling supply chain, saves on energy and
water, and preserves landfill space. From corn plastic mugs to solar-powered calculators, Branders.com
has a range of eco-friendly promotional
products.
Go paperless or use recycled paper, like
this Post-it notepad, which has at least 30
percent postconsumer content. The paper comes from mills
known for best eco-friendly practices.
