Every year on April 22nd, people around the world celebrate Earth Day. Now more than ever people are taking steps to live a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. That makes Earth Day a fantastic opportunity to show that your business or organization cares about the environment and making the world a better place.
We've got some ideas for fun ways to celebrate Earth Day and reinforce your brand at the same time with eco-friendly promotional products.
1. Have an Earth Day trivia contest featuring questions about the environment. The winner gets a cool eco-friendly prize like the Aladdin Ecycle 14oz. Tumbler. This travel mug is one of the most unique eco-friendly promotional products on the market today.

2. Set aside an afternoon to pick up litter in a local park. Make a whole day of it by hosting a cookout featuring locally grown organic foods.

3. Present an eco-friendly promotional product as a gift to the leaders of local organizations heading up Earth Day events. The 100% Post Consumer Recycled Deluxe Urban Sling Bag is one of our top sellers.

4.    Ask your employees to come up with suggestions for ways to make your business more green. Give a gift to the employees whose ideas you implement. The Recycled Cardboard Pivot Pad is an affordable option, and your employees will be able to use it every day.
Raise money for a local charity that helps the environment by raffling off some hip and stylish Recycled Sling Bags.

For the perfect employee gift, we recommend you match the item to the season. As spring turns to summer, your employees will be thinking about fun in the sun. Give your employees a promotional gift they can use while they're enjoying the warm weather and maybe even a nice vacation. In fact, we've got three promotional gifts that will set your employee up for a sunny summer picnic:

1. Eco-Friendly Water Bottle: Your employee can beat the heat by filling this sports bottle with ice cold water.
2. Lunch Cooler Bag: Our Eco-Friendly Water Bottle will tuck nicely into the side pocket of this insulated reusable lunch bag - perfect for carrying a picnic lunch.
3. Top Selling Folding Camp Chair: Top it all off with a comfy camp chair featuring your company's logo.
   

With these three promotional products, you'll be giving your employee the gift of fun and relaxation.

The promotional products you hand out tell customers a lot about you. One way to make a big statement with your promotional products is to choose eco-friendly giveaways. Eco-friendly promotional products say all the right things about your business…

1. You know what customers want, which is products that minimize their environmental footprint. One way to do that is to buy products made from renewable materials, such as our Bamboo Shaft Umbrella.

2. You're in touch with the latest trends, like replacing plastic grocery bags with something reusable such as our Recycled Drawstring Cinch Bag.

3.    You're a socially responsible business that cares about the effect you have on the environment. Make a strong impression at your next meeting with an eco-friendly business accessory like the 100% Post Consumer Recycled Padfolio.

4.    You take a fresh and innovative approach to the way you do business. Our Environmentally Green Pen is made from corn, which makes it a fun and unique gift.
