Due to limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on Earth, it is important to conserve our current supply or use renewable sources in order for our natural resources to be available for future generations.

Electricity is generated from both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

Renewable energy sources:  Constantly renewed or restored and include wind (wind power), water (hydropower), sun (solar), vegetation (biomass), and internal heat of the earth (geothermal).  About 9.0 percent of electricity in the U.S. is generated from renewable sources.
Go green with this hydro calculator!  Powered with water or any liquid and requires no batteries.

Nonrenewable energy sources:  Natural resources that cannot be replenished (fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal).  About 71.5 percent of electricity in the U.S. is generated from nonrenewable sources.  In addition to renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, about 19.5 percent of electric power in the
U.S. is generated by nuclear power plants.  However, operating such plants poses significant nuclear waste disposal problems; consequently, there are no current plans to build more. Most electricity in the United 2 States is generated by burning nonrenewable fossil fuels and there is a limited amount of these energy sources.

Ions play a significant role in our environment and everyday life.  There are two kinds of ions, positive and negative.  Positive ions are produced by cars, factories, heavy machinery, smoke, dust, soot and other pollutants. 
Positive ions are harmful to our health as well as the environment.
Air ionizers (negative ion generators) for the home are commonly used.  They can help improve air quality, create wellness, and reduce airborne bacteria.  Air ionizers increase the concentration of negative ions in the air, refreshing the air by removing mildew dust, and smoke.

Check out our liquid USB 6 pc white LED lamp air ionizer with 3 port hub.  The LED light is always-on and cycles between colors changing the color of the liquid inside.

Biodegradable products have the ability to break down rather quickly and safely -  by biological measures -  into the raw materials of nature and dissipate into the environment.

Sustainable disposal of any product requires that its wastes are returned to the earth and able to biodegrade.  Nature biodegrades everything it makes back into basic building blocks, so that new living things can be made from the old.  Every resource made by nature returns to nature.  Nature has perfected this system.

What we need to do now is learn how to be more involved and committed to choosing to contribute to the efforts in support of sustainability.  Doing so will create a healthy, safe and abundant world for this generation and those to follow.  Start helping by selecting products made from natural, recycled, certified organic or biodegradable resources.

Here are some great ideas you can include as part of your employee welcome kit!
When an employee first arrives it’s important to make sure they feel welcome.   As a new staff member it feels a lot like being the new kid in school.  With so much to learn and figure out be sure you offer a professional and organized plan to help guide your new employees through the learning curve.

Let them know you’re glad they are there by organizing an informative orientation and introduce your new employee to their supervisor and other staff members.  This will set them at ease and make them feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.

Express your creativity!  Along with your standard policy and practice manual, put together a welcome kit containing your custom printed company items as well.

Laughing Stress Ball - as low as $2.35

Reach out to your customers. Movie tickets, music or ringtone downloads, photo prints, or phone cards are not only useful but will attract every demographic.  Use these products to capture information from your target audience and track the effectiveness of your promotion.  If you don't know who your customers are, you can't stay in touch with them.  Always make the effort to gather names and contact information any way you can!

Promotional Movie Cards - as low as $9.85

Stay in touch with your customers.  If possible, call your customers.  Sometimes just asking for repeat business will do the trick.

Make sure customer service is your top priority.  You only get one chance to make a first impression.  There is no substitute for the brand experience and if it’s not well received, often times you won’t get a second chance.  If you can't follow through on claims of on time delivery or guaranteed satisfaction, you’ll soon find yourself fighting a losing battle.

Marketing is, by far, the very best approach in order for your business to build awareness amongst prospective customers and to establish a brand within the markets you are directly targeting whether they’re local, regional or national!

Creativity and energy are what count!

Make an effort to show off your product everywhere! Take every opportunity possible to advertise or demonstrate your services or products.

Be diligent in distributing logo merchandise. Put your company name and logo (if you have one) on every, little gizmo, ornament or piece of cloth you can think of then hand them out like crazy!

Promotional Beach Balls - as low as $2.60

Logo light Pen - as low as $3.45

While being carried around on trips to the store, the gym or on errands duffel bags that are decked out with a big flashy logo get noticed and function like a traveling billboard!

Promotional items that are useful and handy to use are the best avenue to get your company lots of free advertising.

This is one great idea that works wonders for several different initiatives!

The first day of spring is March 20, 2008!

What better way to welcome spring than to start planning your next company outing?

Organize a fun and relaxing corporate outing at a conveniently located park or recreation facility.

Staff outings enable all employees to casually mingle and get to know each other better. This time also offers them the opportunity to interact with people in other divisions or at other levels which they normally might not have the chance.

Gather everyone together for a friendly game of softball, a simple barbeque, or a stress free game of miniature golf.

No matter what kind of event you decide, be sure to distribute a small token of your appreciation that will serve as a reminder of the event.
