CELEBRATING EARTH DAY 2022


Inspired by several environmental disasters, the junior senator established the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, to bring light to the issue of environmental responsibility and to transform the public's attitude. 

Let us celebrate Earth Day by participating in giving back to Mother Earth!

We definitely take for granted the many treasures our planet provides us while we live our lives, go about our day, tap into the resources, connect with people, and grow our businesses. We must do our part to take care of our home so we can continue to enjoy what it provides us.

Here at One Trillion Group, it’s no surprise that we value giving back. So for this month, we wanted to give back to Mother Earth!! 

If you’re already a client, it’s not too late to participate in this month's challenge to help the planet and have a chance to win a pack of seeds to start your own plantation (a bonus to help reduce your carbon footprint). Throughout this month of April 2022, the www.carbonfund.org foundation is matching all tree planting donations meaning your generosity goes twice as far!


We encourage you to find ways to give back to the Earth and celebrate what it offers us!

HERE ARE 22 IDEAS: 

  1. Planting Trees
  2. Consuming local and seasonal products
  3. Limit meat consumption (especially beef)
  4. Buy fish from sustainable fishing
  5. Cleaning up garbage
  6. Bring reusable shopping bags
  7. Avoiding products with excessive plastic packaging
  8. Committing to recycling
  9. Buy only what you need, to avoid waste.

  15. Upgrading your lights (LED)
  16. Use Energy Star appliances
  17. Use a laptop, not a desktop computer

FIVE (5) BEAUTIFUL STORIES

Here are Five (5) Beautiful Stories that should make us all think and perhaps help us adjust our priorities!   1 - First Important Lesson - All are Significant.  During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.   "Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people.  All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also later learned her name was Dorothy. 2. ...

Known as ‘The Mother of Pride,’ Brenda organized Gay Pride Week and the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade a year after the Stonewall Riots. This eventually morphed into what we now know as the New York City Pride March and was the catalyst for the formation of similar parades and marches across the world. Bill Clinton was the first U.S. President to officially recognize Pride Month in 1999 and 2000. Then, from 2009 to 2016, Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. In May 2019, Donald Trump recognized Pride Month with a tweet announcing that his administration had launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality, although critics have noted that actions speak louder than words.  The New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most we...
