Morrisette Paper

Read about an excellent tribute to Earth Day by Morrisette Paper:


"My name is Lisa Williams from Morrisette Paper and I am a Facility Supply Specialist. We are a distributor of Janitorial and Packaging Supplies, traditional products and Green products. I wanted to share with you a sales meeting I had for our company on April 23, 2010. We did a completely paperless meeting. I had 20 vendors with booths and had 75 Morrisette team members attend each booth for 15 minutes. All the information from literature, spreadsheets and prices sheets was preloaded onto flash drives and given to every MPC team member. We also did not have any bottles at the meeting. All water and drinks were in containers and we used paper cups. We also used compostable cutlery and plates made out of bamboo. We gave out reusable water bottles as gifts and touched on the amount of plastic that is thrown away each day and encouraged our team to filter their own water and stop buying water!! The meeting was a huge success and we definitely made our footprint smaller on that day as a company. It was the day after Earth Day and our sales meeting was a tribute to Earth Day."

After the success of the First Upstate Business Summit that was held at The Hangar in downtown Spartanburg on Friday, April 30, we didn't want the "green" momentum to end there. We wanted to create a central site where companies would have the opportunity to share anything "green" that might be inspiring to other readers. Anywhere from a sentence that states, "Since June of 2009 we have stopped ordering Styrofoam cups," to a full length story, we want to hear it. Don't be selfish and keep it to yourself!

Everyone is always looking for ideas, inspiration, success stories, and attempts being made at preserving our environment through the workplace. You can even share your struggles. In one of the workshops a gentleman requested ideas on how to inspire workers in his company to not only recycle and be environmentally conscientious because it is their job, but to really WANT to do it. Voice your concerns! People can read your concerns, and offer advice in the comment section.

This could be an advertising and networking opportunity for you as well. If you share anything with us, we will put your company logo on that blog entry and give out any other information of which you want readers to be informed.

If you are thinking, "I have too many other things to do than write a blog post," we understand. Simply call me and take 5 minutes of your day to tell me a story and I will write and post it for you. You giving that 5 minutes of your day may encourage a company to pursue a green initiative that they had not considered prior to your post!

We cannot do this alone. We need you to share. Simply send your post along with your company logo or any other pictures documenting your success, questions, suggestions, etc to ccarpenter@upstatewib.org

Can't wait to hear from you!
