G R A P H I C S - P R O. C O M 2 0 2 1 A P R I L G R A P H I C S P R O 1 9 First and foremost, ditch the plastic bottle. e good folks at Allmade appar- el have plenty of plastic bottles to keep making their shirts for decades to come. According to Earthday.org, "Humans buy about 1,000,000 plastic bottles per min- ute in total. Only about 23% of plastic bottles are recycled within the U.S." We are in the decoration industry, and there's no reason you should not have your fair share of reusable drinkware. If you have employees, make sure they have a selection of reusable drinkware at work and home. It is a great way to get your brand out there, and people notice cool reusable drinkware. Second on the waterside is the use of wa- ter in general. You can reduce the use and, therefore, the cost of water by using oat boosters in your toilets, having drought- resistant grass, and monitoring and track- ing your water meters. I encourage you all to look at how you can go green. en I encourage you to make sure to share that with your custom- ers, potential customers, and the others in your community and circle of inuence. It is not as a way to show o or brag, but a way to encourage them to do more in their lives and businesses to go green. You will start to see a domino eect, and if you are the champion of this movement in your community, it will pay dividends for you and future generations. Feel free to tag Our Success Group on social media to share and promote the things you are doing to go green. is is a "no judgment" zone, so any changes you make to go green are all good in my book!
