Go Green – 5 Ways To Celebrate Earth Month




April is Earth Month, which means spreading awareness to keep our planet clean. “Going green” is a trend many corporations and small businesses have implemented into the products and services over the years. However, we all need a reminder every now and then to be conscious of how our lives affect the planet. Here are five green ideas for your company Earth Month contribution.

1.       Participate in EPA’s pick five campaign. Choose categories your company is passionate
  about such as air, water, energy, waste, land or general advocacy. Then select five actions your company will pledge to fulfill.
2.       Spread awareness about Earth Month with custom logoed apparel and products for your company store or upcoming April event. Choose from many shades of green, styles and fits at app-co.com.

3.       Honor Earth Month by joining Arbor Day Foundation’s plant a tree program. Join many other corporations with partnerships including FedEx, John Deere, Toyota and more. 

4.       Institute reusable products at work. Encourage employees to bring reusable lunch containers, water bottles, and coffee mugs for a chance to win a coveted prize.

5.       Do a team building event to support company morale and Mother Nature. There are a number of events and volunteer options to participate in, including festivals, fairs, expos and more. Find what activities are going on in your region.
