Plastic State of Mind

According to Globe and Mail, Canadians use 200 plastic bags per person - that's 2.86-billion bags used annually. We love this video promoting the ban of single use plastic items,  including bags. Social responsibility has gone viral and reusable tote bags are here to stay.

Revolutionary Umbrella

This is THE most revolutionary product that I've seen in awhile. The Blunt XS Umbrella. It's aerodynamic design means it is unflappable in the most demanding weather conditions. Its uniquely tensioned canopy, combined with a flatter aerodynamic profile, no sharp edges or weak points, eliminates the major flaw of conventional umbrella design.

By gifting your most valued clients with the Blunt XS Umbrella, you will be sure to leave a lasting impression. 

You have to see it to believe it!

Paying It Forward

One of the many reasons we are proud to be a part of the PPPC

The PPPC (an association which we are proud members of), has aligned itself with the Pay It Forward initiative. Paying It Forward (often termed PIF) is a simple way that you can make your community a more positive place.

The PPPC recommends the following ways to PIF:

• Pay for the order of someone behind you at a drive-through
• Send a dedicated employee home at noon for a paid afternoon off
• Let someone cut the line
• Donate your time to an organization in need (i.e. food banks)
• Put money in a meter that has expired
• Give your server a very generous tip
• Send a handwritten note of gratitude or appreciation to someone
• Write off a debt from a friend
• Buy lunch for a homeless person
• Mentor someone
• Sign up for a charitable walk, run or ride
• Smile and tell someone what is GREAT about them - and mean it!

Mention for the recipient of your generous action to Pay It Forward when possible/applicable so that this positivity will spread further than you can imagine.

This weekend, I will be paying it forward. Will you?
