Earth Day is April 22 every year. Companies use it for volunteer cleanups, office events and community outreach. Reusable items people keep, such as bottles and bags, fit the day, and any eco claim on the item should be specific and accurate.

Reusable beats disposable

A bottle or bag that replaces single use items fits the day better than a giveaway people throw away.

Describe it accurately

Say exactly what makes the item better, such as "made with 50% recycled polyester". Broad claims like "eco-friendly" should be avoided under FTC guidance.

Cleanup and volunteer teams

Matching t-shirts make teams easy to spot at cleanups and look good in photos.
