Earth Day Promotional Items: Choices Galore

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22^nd. On Earth Day, we consider our impact on the world that we live in and focus on conservation and using only those items that are eco-friendly and cause no harm to our environment and its inhabitants. Thanks in large part to “Save the Earth” movements and numerous environmental campaigns all over the world, more and more people are working to protect the environment from further degradation. Green movements also have an impact on corporations. Companies are under tremendous pressure from consumers.  Legislators are realizing the need to switch to eco-friendly technologies and processes.

Every Earth Day, companies search for Earth Day promotional items so that they are able to stand before the public with their brand painted green. With the rise in the demand for environmentally friendly products, many manufacturers have awakened to the need to start to improve their operational processes and deliver products and services that give more consideration to environmental aspects, social responsibility and sustainability issues. This year manufacturers have a long list of products to display and are busy in the days leading up to April 22^nd  

Here are some of the clever Earth Day promos you may consider using on Earth Day:

Solar Devices

More than half of the electricity produced in the US is generated by burning coal.  This in itself is one of our biggest environmental challenges. The problem of finding energy sources that reduce pollution is highlighted (and helped) when you choose solar awareness devices for your earth promos.  Great solar powered choices include solar clip lights, solar powered flash lights, solar powered pedometers or solar panel LED key lights. All of these items are great options for earth day promotional items. With these daily household items, you can provide a useful item and help encourage and decreasing the demand on the earth’s resources.

Recycled Goods

You can use recycled products as your earth day promos. An exorbitant amount of plastic is used in every house and office. Large quantities of this plastic goes directly into the garbage as waste. However, a small, but growing percentage of plastics are diverted from the waste stream at some point, mainly thanks to greater public awareness and recycling programs.  This plastic is sent for recycling, where it is processed and ultimately used to make new items, such as coffee mugs, 5-minute shower timers, grocery tote bags and laptop sleeves, pens, key tags, desktop organizers, toys, and many more practical items. Your latest plastic product may be made out of recycled water bottles and yogurt containers from your own household.

Organic Apparel

Organic clothing is one of the best products to be used as earth promos. Our consciousness toward the environment has compelled us to search for more ways to save the earth from further degradation. For this and other reasons, the demand for organic cotton clothes is increasing. Organic cotton is grown on farms without using hazardous chemicals and pesticides used to grow traditional cotton. Like organic cotton clothes, natural fibers made from other rapidly renewable resources, such as bamboo, also have environmental advantages. In addition, organic clothes are as trendy as conventional apparel and are a great choice for your earth day promotional items.

So, what are you promoting this Earth Day? There are now choices galore. All these items are environmentally friendly and can promote your company as one that is committed to save the Earth and can help create a positive brand image in your customers’ minds.
