MargoKnow the corporate culture that you’re trying to promote environmental literacy in. Frequent messages, in a variety of media, work well; it’s not about having a once-a-year Earth Day fair. The messages need to be repeated and connected to the day-to-day operations of the company. For example, you can do something at an Earth Day related to forests, but then connect it to napkins in your cafeteria later”
