🌿 Did you know that approximately 2.5 million tons of trash end up in U.S. national parks and trails each year? Every piece of litter removed contributes to transforming these vital spaces into cleaner, greener environments. For companies, this is a great reminder of the impact of employee volunteering. Engaging your team in cleanup efforts not only supports environmental sustainability but also fosters team building and reinforces your company's commitment to community responsibility. Start planning now for #FamilyVolunteerDay on November 23rd. It’s a perfect opportunity for employees and their families to make a meaningful impact together.

🌍🌿 Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌿🌍 Today, let's take a moment to appreciate the beautiful planet we call home. It's crucial for all of us to do our part in preserving and protecting our Earth. One way businesses can make a positive impact, is by offering Paid Time Off (PTO) for volunteering. This not only encourages employees to give back to their communities but also allows them to support environmental causes they are passionate about. So, this Earth Day, let's all do our part to make a difference. Whether it's picking up litter, planting trees, or reducing our carbon footprint, every action counts. Together, we can create a more sustainable and eco-friendlier world. 🌎💚 #EarthDay #ProtectOurPlanet #VolunteerTimeOff

When it comes to action for #climatechange, the goal isn’t perfection. Perfection isn’t #sustainable. There are times when our actions may not be what is best for the #environment. The goal is working consistently to build #community with others to create change, both individually and collectively. Engaging in conversation to share information. Volunteering. Using the power of our vote. Believing the science. Being hopeful. Staying in action. Everyone can make a difference. Especially when we work together. 💚 #TheCarbonAlmanac #FactsConnectionAction

📍Here are just a few examples of employee-led initiatives that showcases commitment to making a difference: 🌻Community Gardening Project: A community gardening project in partnership with local schools and community centers. 🌻Diversity and Inclusion Workshops: Organizing workshops and training sessions to raise awareness about unconscious bias, promote cultural sensitivity, and foster a more inclusive corporate culture where everyone feels valued and respected. 🌻Zero-Waste Initiatives: Committed to reducing our environmental footprint, a zero-waste initiative should be lunched within our offices and facilities. From implementing recycling programs to promoting composting and reducing single-use plastics. 🌻Skills-Based Volunteering: Through skills-based volunteering initiatives, pro bono consulting, mentorship, and technical assistance is offered to support organizations working towards human rights, sustainable development, and social justice goals. By empowering employees to take action and support causes they care about, we ought to build a culture of purpose-driven leadership and collective impact. Together, we can continue to harness the power of our employees to drive meaningful change and create a more just and sustainable future for all. #EmployeeInitiatives #HumanRights #SustainableDevelopment #Agribusiness #DauntlessEunice🌍

As a volunteer, I recently set up and distributed items to my block. The aftermath? 200 plastic covers. It's disheartening to witness this, especially considering also the lack of sustainability in the items we distributed. This raises the question: Are we truly making a positive impact? There's much work to be done to find a balance in our efforts. #volunteer #sustainability #environmentalawareness

Volunteering for the planet can help you feel connected to others in your community about climate change, sustainability, and more! If there’s not an event near you, try to organize your own. Here are some things to keep in mind when organizing a successful volunteer event: • Set your goals - what are you trying to accomplish? • Communicate - make sure hours, location, tasks, etc. are conveyed to volunteers. • Prepare & Plan - assign specific roles, make a schedule, keep yourself and your volunteers organized, • Engage - have enough meaningful tasks that your volunteers are engaged. • Capture the moment - take pictures to inspire others and for the fun of it! Here are some ideas for events that you could organize!
