Going Green – In Honor of Earth Day!

Here at EXCLAMATIONS!, we pride ourselves on the little things we can do to help sustain and show our appreciation for our earth’s environment.  The celebration of Earth Day is a great time to take stock of the things we can do everyday…every little bit counts!

We practice the three R’s – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle on a daily basis!
We conserve energy and protect the earth in the following ways:

REDUCE

Our showroom, offices and restrooms operate on lighting that is motion activated. With this system, the lights turn on and off automatically – this is both eco-friendly and economically friendly!

Our production area, shipping area and warehouse are illuminated primarily by sky lights. This helps us conserve energy, as the regular lighting is rarely used.

REUSE

We reuse packaging and shipping materials in packaging our gifts and gift baskets for shipping. This includes reusing packing peanuts, bubble wrap and newsprint.

When we receive new inventory, the boxes are often saved for safely packing our gifts and gift baskets for hand-delivery and carry out.

We love water, but don’t love wasting precious resources by throwing away plastic cups and water bottles. We use eco-friendly polycarbonate water bottles and reusable drink ware – everyday!

After our hand tied bows are made, we always find useful and creative ways to use our scraps of ribbon. There really is a way to bring it all to life…we are resourceful!

RECYCLE

We recycle…a lot!  Our outside trash bin features a dumpster for trash as well as a receptacle for recyclable materials.  We recycle all surpluses of paper, plastic, catalogs, phone books…and more!

Did you know? We can help you promote your business or brand with hundreds of unique eco-friendly products! Our enviromentally concious product line features recycled, biodegradable and organic items, as well as hand-powered and solar electronics!

From smaller, low cost items for event goody bags, to re-usable totes, bamboo USB drives, and more – our complete selection of eco-friendly giveaways and promotional items demonstrate your commitment to the environment while showing off your company logo and brand!

Earth Day should be celebrated everyday - GO GREEN Today!
