Better Environment. Better Tomorrow

April is National Environment month with Earth Day, Arbor Day, Fish Migration Day and yes, Save the Frogs Day too. This year’s theme is designated to “Plastic Pollution”. By now we all know that plastic pollution is toxic to humans, wildlife and marine life. Did you know that 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year and 90% of it is thrown away? According to the Plastic Pollution Coalition, by 2050 the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by weight. We have all unknowingly contributed to this problem so it’s now up to us to reverse it by reducing consumption of plastics and changing our ways. In doing so, we can educate and raise awareness with our followers on the adverse effects by creating a better tomorrow.

Let’s do our part to save the planet. Publish a post in your newsfeed or send an email to your clients encouraging this cause. Perhaps ask them to bring in their own shopping bags for a 10% discount.

As a retailer or service industry, we do use a lot of plastic. By reducing your consumption, it can encourage your clients to find alternative ways to shop or tote around your merchandise.

SAVE THE TREES

Arbor Day is April 27th – let’s do our part and save the trees. Let’s replace our packaging with cloth and who needs invoices on paper anymore – send them digital bills.

SAVE THE ANIMALS

Sometimes as marketers we need to sway our followers by tapping into their emotions. Animals usually do the trick! Find a local foundation and create a campaign whereby you donate a % to it. It’s win-win!
