Campaigners' Edition - June 2008

Coordinators:  workplace giving campaigns are on the horizon!

It's almost July, which means that fall (and most workplaces' employee giving campaigns) are coming up fast!  Now is the perfect time to talk to your co-workers about preparations for the campaign and recruit some helpers to spread out the work.

Your Earth Share contact (Trudy, Meghan, or Aurora) will be contacting you soon to get the ball rolling. 

Don't just sit there. Volunteer!

Volunteers are essential to Earth Share conservation groups.  Volunteers not only help keep operational cost down, they are also crucial to implementing the mission of the organization. Read the stories of four volunteers>

Earth Share member groups can accomodate your next staff volunteer project. Visit Earth Share's online volunteer opportunities at www.earthshare-oregon.org/volunteer.

EcoTips: The Other Blank Side

Your office can reduce printer or copier paper use up to 60 percent by using both sides of every sheet.

One strategy to reduce paper consumption is to fill your printer or copier's default tray with paper already printed on one side. Create a collection pile for single-sided paper for reuse.  Post guidelines for what kinds of paper aren't acceptable for reuse: personal information, sensitive documents, financial or legal documents, etc.
