The company picnic is a long-standing tradition in the business world. Improve upon the tradition this summer by going green! Here are some simple ways you can have an environmentally-friendly company picnic.

No picnic is complete without a wide array of cold, delicious beverages…which also means piles of discarded plastic or Styrofoam cups. This year, serve your drinks in a reusable cup, such as the Best Stainless Travel Mug. With all your employees using the Best Stainless Travel Mug at your picnic, they won't be contributing to the 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups Americans throw out every year.

When you're buying all those burgers and hot dogs, be sure to carry your purchases in a reusable tote bag. The Classic Cotton Meeting Tote is an affordable alternative to the billions of plastic bags that end up in our oceans, killing more than 100,000 marine mammals and turtles every year.

Another way to reduce your use of plastic bags is to order up some 100% Post Consumer Recycled Deluxe Tote Bags. These Earth-friendly totes make excellent employee appreciation gifts to hand out during your picnic. With 600 plastic bags being thrown out each second in the U.S., an attractive, sturdy tote like this one can really make a difference.

You'll enjoy your picnic even more knowing that you're minimizing your environmental footprint. Be sure to separate your recyclables from the rest of the trash to recycle after the picnic is over!
