EARTH DAY

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by Earthday.org including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries. The official theme for 2024 is “Planet vs. Plastics.”

15 Ways Your Plan B Company is green
(other than our lovely corporate color HEX CODE: LIME)

  1. No disposable cups, silverware or plates in the office
  2. We print less and less paper copies (and buy less paper)
  3. If we can, we print on the backside of paper when possible
  4. Purchase recycled office items and supplies
  5. Turn off lights, machines and lower heat/AC when not in use
  6. Work from home and Zoom meetings to save commuting time and gas
  7. Use cloth shopping bags vs plastic ones
  8. Support local growers
  9. Replacing old light bulbs with CFLs
  10. Recycle old cell phones by donating them to a good cause
  11. Find ways to reuse items before we pop them in the recycling bin
  12. And when we can, we support Freecycle
  13. Receive e-bills instead of mailed bills from our vendors and utilities
  14. Electronic mailings for our client billing and announcements (vs. printing + snail mail)
  15. Purchase electronics with auto power down (and remember to turn everything off at the end of the day!)

Remember, every day should be Earth Day!
