May 25, 2020
When you are designing custom bags, totes, shopping bags, and other products, you need to make sure that you add zippers, pockets, snaps, and anything else that you think will be helpful. There are a few tips here that will make customizing your bag a truly enjoyable experience. Check out the custom bags that you can build with us at Custom Earth Promos today! Why Add Zippers to Custom Bags? Adding zippers to custom bags is a good way to make them more secure. You can close the bag safely, and you can even use these bags to carry cool items like drinks and food. These bags can be secured to make sure that you do not lose anything, and you can use zippers on front pockets so that you do not jostle anything out of the bag. Why Are Snap Closures Useful? Snap closures are useful because they allow you to gently close any pocket or bag. You might use these closures because you do not want to tear a zipper if the bag is extremely full. At the same time, the snaps can be left open if you have overpacked the bag. Snaps are also easy to clean if your bags get wet or have a lot of wear and tear. You Can Carry Anything in Pockets? When you are using custom bags, you can carry everything from your phone to your wallet and business cards in side pockets. You can close them up, or you can slide them in and out as needed. Because you can customize your bags at Custom Earth Promos, you should reach out to us today to learn what can be done to make sure that you have the best bags, the best design, and comfortable handles that make your totes easy to carry.

Go Green: Eco-Friendly Products We Should All Be Using

Nov 12, 2019
After the shocking wake-up call of the documentary Blue Planet, more and more people are waking up to the unsustainable way humans are living. In fact, 97% of climate scientists agree we are facing a global warming emergency. But there's hope for our planet. If we all do our part to make ourselves a little bit greener, then we can drastically reduce the issues our planet is facing. In this post, you'll discover some easy swaps to eco-friendly products you can make today to do your part. Creating a Sustainable Future If you ask people why they think we need to become more environmentally friendly as a society, you'll hear a variety of answers. Some want to stop the mass extinction of hundreds of endangered species. Others want to clean the oceans of the millions of tons of plastic.  But in a recent survey by sustainable earth, the number one reason given for changing our ways was to make sure that future generations had just that – a future.  Now, you may ask what difference we can make as individuals. Research from the Climate Accountability Institute found that 20 major fossil-fuel producers were linked to 35% of global fossil-fuel and cement emissions between 1965 and 2017. However, the choices we make in our day-to-day lives can also play a part in forging a sustainable future.  If as a collective we all made some simple lifestyle changes, those small impacts can start to add up and make a difference. It causes the government and large corporations to sit up and take notice. These changes can be as simple as swapping one product on your next trip to the supermarket, choosing a responsible eco-friendly company over an oil-guzzling conglomerate, or simply reusing that coffee cup.  There are many cheap and easy ways that we as individuals can make a change for the better. Below, we will explore some of the different ways we can make a sustainable future possible for the next generation. The Problem with Disposable and Single-use Products First of all, what are single-use products and why are they such a problem? These are products intended for one use and one use only. They are usually made of plastic and are a huge cause for concern. Examples of single-use products include: Drink bottles Straws  Food containers and packaging Shopping bags  Cigarette butts Coffee cups and lids Originally created to make our lives easier, these single-use items are wreaking havoc on our environment. It can take thousands of years for a single plastic bag to degrade. Now, there are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic clogging our oceans. And this issue isn't going away. As the plastic degrades or breaks down, it leaches chemicals into the waterways and air, causing untold issues scientists are still trying to measure.  This pervasive problem is ...

Do You Remember the Milkman? Well, He's Coming Back with Loop

Sep 7, 2019
A new shopping platform announced at this year's World Economic Forum aims to change the way consumers buy many brand-name products. Loop, as the platform is called, aims to do away with disposable containers for products such as shampoo and laundry detergent from some of the world's biggest manufacturers. Instead, your goods will be delivered in sleek, reusable containers that will be picked up at your door, washed, and refilled.Do away with disposable containers by replacing all of your bags and bottles with reusable ones from Custom Earth Promos. Tom Szaky, CEO of New Jersey-based international recycling company TerraCycle, the brains behind Loop, explains his business model: "Loop is about the future of consumption. And one of the tenants is that garbage shouldn't exist. Removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. We need to get at the whole idea of disposability and single-use items. We're going back to the milkman model of the 1950s. You buy the milk but the milk company owns the bottle, which you leave in the milk box to be picked up when you're done with it."TerraCycle and Loop CEO Tom Szaky Companies partnering with Loop include PepsiCo, Nestle, and Procter & Gamble, among other top brands. "Our goal is that by 2030, all of our packaging will be reusable or recyclable."Procter & Gamble Vice-President and Chief Sustainability Officer Virginie Helias Helias has said that Loop "...is a very new idea and somewhat risky because no one has tried it. But the response has very positive, and we've selected 10 of our brands to be a part of the pilot project, with a plan to add more later pending positive results."Procter & Gamble Vice-President and Chief Sustainability Officer Virginie Helias For example, Pantene shampoo "...will come in a beautifully decorated, lightweight-aluminum pump container. Tide in the US will come in a stainless-steel bottle with a durable twist cap. Cascade will come in ultra-durable packaging. Crest mouthwash will come in a glass bottle. The idea is ultra-durability, convenience and also ultra-luxurious packaging."Procter & Gamble Vice-President and Chief Sustainability Officer Virginie Helias Haagen-Dazs ice cream, a Nestle product, will be delivered in a double-walled, stainless-steel tub that's designed to keep the ice cream cold for longer. Loop is even helping take care of products that would otherwise have to be thrown away. Instead of adding dirty disposable diapers to landfills, soiled diapers can, starting in the Paris, France, area, be placed in sleek, durable containers. When full, Loop will pick up the diaper container and deliver a clean, empty one. New technology allows them to process and recycle the diapers, something TerraCycle has already begun to do in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. "We have only one planet, and we have to take care of it for the long term. We want to strive for Zero Waste at the production and consumption level. Loop is so ...

Climate Change Activist Greta Thunberg Takes Home the GQ

Sep 5, 2019
GQ just held their annual Men of the Year awards. With winners such as Hugo Boss' Most Stylish going to Scottish actor Richard Madden and Actor of the Year handed out to Taron Egerton for his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman, they did not discriminate when it came to gender. Climate activist Greta Thunberg took home the win for Game Changer of the Year. The story of 16-year-old Greta Thunberg has been told time and time again. But, rarely, has it been told well. Thunberg is the Swedish student who sparked the global school strike for climate change movement in August of last year. It was participated in by about 1.6 million people in 133 countries! Thunberg has also graced the cover of Time magazine, met President Obama, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She has given speeches at the UN; Davos, Switzerland; and the British Parliament. Thunberg has become a symbol for a generation being ignored by a generation that won't have to suffer the consequences of not listening. In her speeches, she'll often state that we have 10 years to delay a chain reaction that will forever alter the future of our planet. If we wait until she is 26 to tune in, it'll be too late. You can find all of this information online. The question is: Which version of what you'll find is the correct one? The cynical version claims that her parents pushed her into this, writing her speeches, which have been collected into a book titled No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference that's available from Penguin, and parading their daughter around to promote their cause. The optimistic version is quite the opposite. This version claims that her mother gave up her opera career for her daughter by agreeing to never fly again. She did this not for the planet but her daughter—who was depressed, not eating, not talking, and this cause became her path to recovery. The truth, as is often found, lies somewhere in the middle. Thunberg often sees her Asperger's as a superpower rather than a disability. She claims she sees the world more clearly and can't understand why humanity is ignoring what should be daily front-page news. "I have Asperger's syndrome and, to me, almost everything is black or white. I think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones and the rest of the people are pretty strange. They keep saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all. And yet they just carry on like before."Climate Activist and GQ Game Changer of the Year Greta Thunberg at Parliament Square in London, England, on October 31, 2018 This explains the school strike for climate, refusing to fly, and a breakfast that was "about to go off." Food is partly to blame for how this all began. Thunberg is a tiny girl, not even five feet tall, and much younger looking than she actually is. This is the result of a period of severe depression when she was 11 and the serious eating disorder that followed. The family's ...

Aquamation Is the Eco-Friendly Way to Say Goodbye to Your Pets

Sep 1, 2019
Here at Custom Earth Promos, we've talked about eco-friendly ways to take care of a human body after a loved one passes, but what about your pets? Kathy Chiavola never knew how happy the pair of dogs she adopted would make her. "Possum and Pearl have appeared in books. They have hundreds of fans. They even have their own song."Nashville, Tennessee, Singer-Songwriter Kathy Chiavola When Possum was unexpectedly lost this year, Chiavola was looking for a fitting way to memorialize her beloved dog. This is when she turned to Beloved Waters, Tennessee's first and only aquamation pet funeral service. "We're an environmentally friendly alternative to pet cremation. If your pet passes, we use water-based technology to take care of your pet and process the remains for you."Beloved Waters Co-founder Shay Underwood Chiavola had previously used flame-based cremation. She was very happy to learn about the environmentally friendly approach aquamation takes. "When I called...I heard the voice of an angel. She was the sweetest, kindest lady and I knew she would take care of Possum's remains with the highest respect. I trusted them more than anyone and that proved to be the right way to go for me."Nashville, Tennessee, Singer-Songwriter Kathy Chiavola Aquamation, better known by its technical name of alkaline hydrolysis, uses a solution of water, potassium hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide to break down remains. There are no fossil fuels and no emissions during this process.Reduce your emissions by switching out your single-use plastic for reusable bags and bottles. Underwood said that the water is so clean, it can even be used to water farm crops! Not only is it cleaner for the environment, aquamation uses 90 percent less energy than traditional, flame-based cremation. Underwood stated that this is the same amount of energy a family of five uses in a single day. "Flame cremation of a pet is the same equivalent of driving a car 500 miles, as far as the carbon footprint goes."Beloved Waters Co-founder Shay Underwood No pet is too big or too small for Beloved Waters. They can process up to 400 pounds and the machine has 14 private chambers, ensuring remains don't mix. Another customer, Holly Potts, said her daughters were beside themselves with grief when the family's hamster died. But, after talking to Beloved Waters, they now "had something to look forward to" and planned a funeral for the beloved little pet. "I felt like we dealt with it a little better."Holly Potts Every animal is treated individually, regardless of their size, and placed in their own compartment before being lowered into the solution. The process takes 18 to 20 hours to complete. Ash remains are then air dried for three days and ground into a fine powder before being returned to the family. The total turnaround time is five to seven days. Each pet is returned with an inked paw print and fur clipping, along with the packaged remains. Underwood ...
