An Earthy Celebration without Food or Pesky Relatives

Thursday April 22 is Earth Day, which reminds all of us to be kind to the environment and employ conservation to preserve the Earth’s natural resources. This special 24-hour period celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Events are scheduled around the globe, and everyone is encouraged to participate, whether it’s by planting a tree in your backyard, picking up trash at your local park, or teaching your children how important it is to shut the lights off when they leave the room and turn off the faucet when brushing their teeth. Gimmees has always promoted recycling and offered an array of promotional products that are environmentally friendly. One of my favorites is the Owl 100% Recycled Deluxe Tote. Not only is it big and roomy and really terrific-looking, but it’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. So, not only can I look good when I’m lugging all of my junk around, but I can feel good about it, too. This tote is handy for tossing in my recycled notebook with matching paper pen as well. Being eco-conscious doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful. Start out small and you’ll see how the little things can make a difference.
