Five Ways to Get Started With Earth Day In Your Sustainability Program
As we approach Earth Day, we are reminded of the beauty of nature and mother earth. We notice the connection to the communities we live and work in, and how we interact with them. Earth Day is a great time for organizations and businesses to show their commitment to eco-friendly activities that support their sustainability efforts.
These activities include things like, park clean ups, stream clean ups, or starting a community garden. As we look to incorporate organizations support of people and the planet, there is no better time to do it then now on Earth Day:
Here are five good reasons why you should have your organizations participate in Earth Day Activities:
- Fun: It’s a fun way to engage employees in your sustainability efforts
- Quality Customer Time: It’s a great way to hang out with customers. Ask clients what they are doing for the day and join them.
- Team Work: This is a great way to develop teams outside the office. Get people from different departments working together on a shared activity?
- Make A Difference: The work really matters. You don’t have to be an environmentalist to appreciate clean parks and streams. You can also what you have accomplished at the end of the day.
- Community Outreach: There is no better way to show your neighbors you care then helping out. Don’t forget to include these type of activities in your corporate social responsibility reports. Stakeholders want to know what you are doing to support your local community.
