not chew gum.👄

today we will not chew gum.   WHY Most gum is made with polymers, as in plastic. This means it won't biodegrade. We will reduce long-lasting pollution by not chewing gum. HOW When we get the urge to chew on something, we don't choose gum. Try a natural mint, crystalized ginger, a toothpick, or water. Or, try Glee & Simply gums. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

save paper bags to reuse as gift bags.

today we will save paper bags to reuse as gift bags. WHY About half of paper waste in the US is gift/decorative. Dyed & treated, most isn't recyclable.

reduce fonts & margins.📄

today we will reduce fonts & margins. WHY For every 10 employees, 18 trees are cut down and 6.3 tons of CO2 is emitted* annually...for paper.

HOW Before printing a document, select all your text and make it a size, half size, or two sizes smaller. Then, we can make our margins smaller.
