Branded Gifts For The Eco-Friendly Conscious

The whole world is going eco mad which is why we have put together a collection of eco-friendly branded gifts.

Global warming plays a huge factor in the reason most people have become so eco-conscious. Global warming is the rise in the Earth's temperature recorded since the 19th Century. Since the early 20th century the Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 0.8c. Two-thirds of this increase has happened since the 1980s, which is why everyone has started to look at how they are living. Reasons for this aren't certain but scientists believe that 90% of the rise is due to unnecessary co2 emissions being released into the atmosphere.

But why is this bad? And what does it mean for us? Global warming can affect us in a number of ways. First of all, global warming causes warm weather. Warm weather then causes the sea to expand, as the sea expands more and more land will disappear. Global warming is happening as you read this, it is impossible to stop. Even if everyone in the world made the maximum effort, there is no way it can be stopped. The best we can do is slow it down. Scientists predicted that if we don't change the way we are living then the Earth would be a completely different place to what it is now in just two hundred years. We may not be around then, but our ancestors will. So it is important to be eco-friendly for the sake of future generations.

At TM we understand that it's impossible to completely cut out everything which produces Co2, but we are firm believers in protecting and enhancing the environment. We even have an environmental policy which can be viewed on our website.

With this in mind we are continuously working hard to find the best eco promotional items around, more of which are added on a regular basis. Our most popular eco-friendly item is the Brite Mat Mouse mat. This is made from 97% recycled materials. Mouse mats have become a common occurrence in offices, schools, and homes over the past twenty-plus years. These mouse mats have a large design space and are great as promotional items.

If you want to show your commitment to the environment then invest in some eco-friendly branded gifts and encourage your customers to think about future generations.
