<\/a>It’s easy to observe Earth Day, coming up on April 22. \u00a0You can use public transportation, car pool, plant trees, participate in community clean-ups and use plenty of eco-friendly promotional products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here at ASI, we’re getting in the spirit with our very first “Top 10 Eco-Friendly Earth Day Giveaways” list – out today.\u00a0 More companies than ever before are using eco-friendly giveaways to promote their commitment to the environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Editors of Counselor<\/em> magazine searched for creative giveaways in ESP (our exclusive promo products database) and found marketers snatching up everything from notebooks made of elephant poo to shower timers to paper embedded with wildflower seeds.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s the list:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Elephant-Poo Notebook <\/strong>– <\/strong>The ultimate recycled item, great for colleges and trade shows.\u00a0
\n2.\u00a0 Bamboo Dinnerware<\/strong> – Perfect for office picnics, outdoor concert venues and fairs.
\n3.\u00a0 Seed Paper Postcard<\/strong> – Ideal for environment-themed mailings and print promotions.\u00a0
\n4.\u00a0 Shower Timer<\/strong> – Municipalities and utilities can promote water conservation.
\n5.\u00a0 Recycled Tires Jar Opener <\/strong>– <\/strong>Auto dealerships and mechanics can give these to customers.\u00a0
\n6.\u00a0 Pine Tree Seedling <\/strong>– Employees can participate in a tree-planting day at the office campus.
\n7.\u00a0 Organic T-shirt <\/strong>– Give one to each Earth Day event organizer and volunteer.\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n8.<\/strong>\u00a0 Compostable Pens<\/strong> – Hotels, banks and shops can use these biodegradable pens.

\n10.\u00a0 Hemp-Blend Polo <\/strong>– <\/strong>Companies can use this earth-friendly shirt for summer uniforms.<\/p>\n

You might think elephant-poo products are just a clever-sounding marketing gimmick. Think again. \u00a0Since the paper uses no trees, it’s perfect for eco-conscious buyers.\u00a0 Such products continue to pick up steam, including dinnerware made from bamboo, which grows up to four feet a day and is 100% biodegradable!<\/p>\n
