In September, Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson, stood in front of the crowd at CI’s Team Earth launch event in New York City and announced SC Johnson’s role as a founding partner of Team Earth. This week, his business launched a new initiative that embodies the spirit of Team Earth: environmentally-minded, innovative, and above all, reliant on you for success.
Team Earth’s first focus is to fight climate change by saving the world’s forests. Every year, we lose 32 million acres of tropical forests – an area the size of England. With every acre lost, we also lose essential resources for people and the planet.
So what can you do about it? We know that many families around the world are helping the planet by making a difference in their own homes, whether by recycling, using less energy or many other actions.
Tell us your story. How do you minimize your impact on the earth?
Sharing your tips and ideas will help influence the actions of others, and if you share before November 18, it will have another benefit as well. For every environmental tip or tactic posted on the “Team Earth Tips” blog, SC Johnson will contribute $1 to Team Earth, up to $25,000. The money raised will go towards future Team Earth campaigns to increase environmental awareness and make changes that will ensure a healthier, more prosperous world for all of us.
As a team, we can help. So share your tips by following the link below and clicking “Post a Comment”. We look forward to hearing from you!
Empower ordinary Americans!
My daughter and I are biking across America this summer to raise money for land conservation. We are contacting all the local land trusts along our route – 34 of them – to share stories and fund-raising efforts in our own communities.
We will be biking through Jackson Hole where Harrison Ford has a conervation easement with his own local land trust.
We would appreciate any help promoting our effort to raise awareness for local land trusts across the country and the incredible difference we can make by all working together.
