How Branded Merch Can Elevate your Earth Day Experience

Earth Day, annually celebrated on April 22, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness of the need to persevere and protect our planet. Over the last few years, more and more companies have initiated sustainable programs surrounding the holiday celebration.

Green Giftz is here to provide you with all the necessary branded merchandise, keeping your team unified in style and boosting awareness as you give back to our home planet.

Ways to Celebrate Our Planet

Team Outings

GET OUTSIDE. Find ways to spend time appreciating and giving back to the Earth.

What does this look like:

• Go to a local park and take in the walking trails.

• Partner with a local charity and participate in their Earth Day initiatives

• Grab bags + gloves to clean up your neighboring streets.

• Bring in supplies and pot plants at the office.

How to apply branded merch:

• Show up in unified fashion.

  • Branded apparel is a great resource for your team to wear, show up, and do good, all while representing your brand. When employees gather a sense of true community, it is reflected in their dedication and loyalty to the company.

• Merch with a memory

  • Experience merch creates a thoughtful gifting moment that ties the product to a memory they'll cherish. Purchase some plants to be potted in a branded planter and spend the afternoon chit-chatting and connecting with nature. Bonus, they get a new potted plant for their desk or home.
