As strange as it may seem, it is only a recent societal development that has the average citizen dishing out some amount of concern for the well-being of the environment. Whether it was the media-storm of eco-friendly messages, gas prices sky-rocketing, or Obama’s new ‘green’ stimulus money, the American population as a whole can now be considered a tad-bit worried about our planet. Prior to this ‘revelation’, conservation and sustainable living were considered elitist left wing movements designed to take our eyes off of more important topics of conversation – like WMDs.

Now that Americans are green – what do we do about it?

US industry has taken terrific leaps and bounds to ‘green-ify’ its image – from the confusing eco-marketing campaigns for hip clothing apparel  to the pastoral package imagery of organic  foods.  The word ‘Organic’ itself has traveled generations in meaning and is now worth billions of dollars to companies like Whole Foods, whose brand fully depends on people thinking they are ‘greener’ by buying their food.   The truth  is, most companies like these are rapidly re-branding with the primary goal of getting a different sort of green.

There are a handful of companies which the public needs to keep an eye out for and support for being genuinely green-focused.  These are companies that are often targeting a niche environmental problem and are doing their jobs very well.  These businesses deserve the utmost support from both the private and government sectors – for our future truly depends on their continual evolution.

So what are a few of these companies?

Tesla Motors: Tesla Motors is truly an innovator in creating cars of the future that can have an impact on today.  Space enthusiast Elon Musk’s company has already created a successful electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster, that has caught the eye of many a celebrity.  The next endeavor will be the cheaper and more accessible Model S.  Hopefully smaller manufacturers like Tesla will have the support to grow and accommodate for many of the unemployed workers from teetering auto-industry giants. Grid Alternatives:  Grid Alternatives is a California non-profit that provides power to communities in need through alternative energy sources like Solar Cells.  Companies like these not only address growing environmental problems, but also do so in a socially responsible manner that impacts communities across California. Green Energy Technologies: The developer of the WindCube- a cutting edge wind turbine that is designed to be installed on commercial urban and suburban locations.  Technologies such as the WindCube represent an eco-friendly option for  city dwellers.   More of our population is now condensed within urban centers than ever before.   Transporting power over shorter distances will play an important role in stemming our energy-usage.

How can we support companies like these?

One way for other companies to support green technology is either by utilizing their products for enterprise needs, or by offering helpful services to them.   Large and small businesses  alike can consider making an investment in the future by purchasing something like a WindCube to supply their energy needs.

One great example of this  is Newton On Demand, a recruiting software company whose technology is currently powering the hiring and applicant management efforts of Grid Alternatives.  This is extremely important because finding and retaining the brightest minds for an eco-friendly company like this will put the green-technology sector one step ahead.  The more genius applicants that can be pulled towards helping our planet, the better.

The easiest way for the public to support companies like these is also to utilize their products or services.  Although most people still don’t have the cash (especially in the current economy) to purchase a new Tesla or WindCube, a non-profit like Grid Alternatives is largely supported through donations, where even a small amount can help.

Times are hard for the American currently. My goal is to start a conversation about how we can use eachother’s knowledge to better our lives and country. Now is the time for us to stand together, and the internet is the perfect vehicle for us to traverse this difficult path and emerge to a bright new era.

The environment is big business. Nobody wants to be seen as environmentally irresponsible, so companies put everything from internal practices to promotions through a fine-toothed comb. But when it comes to business promotional items, choosing eco-friendly products is nowhere near the burden it used to be. Located in Central Ontario, Promos Canada specializes in selling a wide variety of eco-friendly promotional products. Over the years the company has greatly expanded its range of environmentally friendly promotional products. Here are three developments they cite as being critical in the development of eco-friendly options for almost every major business promotion.

Recycled Material is Inexpensive and Plentiful: Thanks to the widespread adoption of municipal recycling using recycled plastic, glass and other materials isn’t significantly more difficult than manufacturing with anything else. Economies of scale have dropped the price on recycled materials to be competitive with their non-recycled counterparts. Furthermore there’s a much wider range of recycled materials in easy reach for any manufacturer, from plastic to numerous metals. That means it’s possible to make virtually any promotional item from recycled material, including pens, water bottles, tote bags and even clothing. As recycling technology improves prices are likely to fall even more, and a wider range of materials can be used by manufacturers. If you’re purchasing imprinted pens, tote bags or other promotional items you’ll enjoy a wider range of inexpensive choice for environmentally friendly bulk imprinted promotional items.

New Eco Friendly Materials Fit Most Manufacturing Niches: Plastic and metal have always been major barriers in creating eco-friendly promotional products. They’re not biodegradable, so when your promotional items are disposable it’s hard to find an eco friendly solution. Fortunately, there are new materials that solve this problem. Corn plastic – polylactic acid – is one of these revolutionary materials. It can do almost everything conventional plastic does, and a few things you wish plastic would  do. It biodegrades quickly and is non-toxic, so that even burning it presents no danger to anyone. It’s created from a renewable resource (corn, of course) that won’t run dry and won’t increase dependence on oil. Corn plastic is just one of a family of emerging bioplastics that have less environmental impact in both the manufacturing and disposable aspects of their life cycle. This makes it an excellent choice for disposable business promotional products such as pens and plastic cups.  In addition to bioplastic, new ways of manufacturing can make wood and paper fill the same role – including appearance – as plastic and metal. For example, paper and other forms of wood fiber can serve as the casings for environmentally friendly imprinted pens. As companies learn to manufacture with these materials more efficiently, prices will continue to drop.

Old Standbys Are in Demand as Eco Friendly Options: Many traditional promotional items are now considered to be “eco-friendly,” and some have become necessities. As cities discourage bottled water and the issues around disposable plastic bottles get more press, people are turning to permanent water bottles – ideal places to put your brand. Families are switching from plastic grocery bags to reusable ones that are basically tote bags. Nowadays, people are seeking out inexpensive ways to be environmentally friendly and a grateful when your promotion gives them the opportunity to do it.

Promos Canada is a business promotional products company specializing in bulk promotional items, imprinted flash memory products and apparel for promotions and eco-friendly promotional products.
