Happy Earth Day! At Falling Colors, we care about the environment and protecting the planet we call home. As a we have enshrined these values in our policies and procedures for operating our headquarters, general purchasing, and waste reduction/recycling. The largest negative environmental impacts come from companies and the ultra-wealthy that leave outsized environmental footprints like carbon emissions from factories or private jets. Mitigating the massive damage done by a relatively small group can seem like an impossible task, but as individuals we can “vote with our dollars.” Are we supporting businesses that consider and protect the environment? How can we tell if a company is “good” for the planet? Most companies will advertise the good they do on their website, so spend a few extra moments scrolling to check for eco-friendly labels or information. A great tool to find the best of the best when it comes to positive environmental impact is the B Lab’s “Best for the World - Environment” listings.
