Earth Friendly Promotions for Earth Day

How are you planning to celebrate Earth Day? If you are like most environmental businesses, most are engaging in eco friendly activities in honor of Earth Day. While the event or activity may be the primary focus, the products and services you employ to create that event are equally important.

In our sustainability consulting at Taiga Company, we offer eco friendly alternatives to the traditional route. Having eco awareness of the products available to small business makes it easier to integrate sustainability concepts into the workplace.

When planning your Earth Day event, be mindful of the consumption of office supplies in the preparations. Preplanning meetings on the white board? Try AusPen. Auspen offers xylene-free inks clear of toxins, they are refillable pens, and they are made out of recyclable materials.

Need a banner for your company canopy? Visit GreenBanners. Just recently, we ordered a banner from GreenBanners. They print high resolution, full-color photo-quality graphics and text on a wide variety of materials using ecologically-sound renewable, recycled / recyclable and biodegradable materials. In addition, their ink is water-based pigment, which is waterproof and fade resistant.

If you are attending a trade show, use eco friendly materials. GoGreenDisplays offers exhibit displays, banners, and lighting systems, all with eco awareness built into their products.

Bring the minimum printed material. If paper is required, consider using The Platform Group Gallery. They have over 300 ready-made, and ecologically friendly Press Kits, Binders, Gift Boxes, Media Kits, and Folders. Every item in the line is made from 100% recycled content fiberboard and environmentally friendly paper-stock.

If you must print, there are alternatives for eco friendly printing:
AquaC Green Publishing

These are just a few easy examples you can integrate sustainability concepts into your business while celebrating Earth Day. Enjoy the celebration!
