We, at Integris Marketing have taken this idea and made it our own. We fully believe that the planet will not get better on its own, and as its stewards, we should do what we can to help so that we have this beautiful planet for our children and grandchildren to come.

Check out this new widget for going green at work: http://www.digitalcarbongroup.co.uk/

We frequently search out news on what other ‘greeners’ are doing and how it is affecting the green movement. We recently came across an interesting little widget that tracks your digital carbon footprint for you – and can point out ways to reduce your energy consumption at work! Easy to use and with analytics that can be reported back to the boss – why not make an impact at your company today?!

If you have ideas and green things to share – we’d love to hear them!!

Sometimes clients rave, sometimes not, and sometimes things just click and you don’t even know it… all while you are busy in the trenches doing what needs to be done and busily doing the best you can.

Then something like this pops into our email “in box” that makes us all smile. It’s an affirmation of why we do what we do and why we do it.

The background is this: Client (Creative Coverings) had been doing some experimenting with some new shipping bags for returning fabric and linen rentals from large events. They were trying to lower the cost of the process as well as the carbon footprint of the return shipping process. Then voila! They came up with the idea of reusable Return Shipping Duffel Bags that could be easily reused and would still work with the UPS bulk processing shipping system. The light bulb went on and they roughed out an article and handed it to us for review. Well we took that article and polished it up so it was fit for media consumption, and then the buzz, excitement and kudos came rolling in! Here is what the client sent us to let us know what had happened.

I just wanted to say thank you to Christian, Judith and Blair for all of your efforts with the Green Shipping Service article.  I sent out to NNBW, RGJ, Catersource, Rental Management, Special Events, ISES, and Entrepreneur this morning.  The response has been fantastic.  NNBW is running on Monday and complimented on what a well written article it was, along with mentioning that he (NNBW Editor) thinks we could get some national exposure with this one.

Lisa Hurley, the editor of Special Events Mag thought it was great and Rental Management is going to come by the ARA booth to see the bag. -

So this morning I sit a little higher and straighter in my chair with a sense that we do actually make a difference from time to time… Maybe more than we know.
