We're proud to have hosted their annual meeting this year and supply the tree marking paint that helps them sustainably manage these public lands. When you're out enjoying a hike in one of America's beautiful forests, look for the bright colors dotting the trees - each one has a purpose in ensuring these forests last for generations. #usfs2024 #publiclands #conservation

March 8th 2024 is National Biobased Product Day! This day was created in an effort to bring awareness to businesses that provide biobased products. The fight against climate change has been an ongoing effort, and we can make a positive impact with every purchase decision we make. This day is being celebrated to educate others on the importance of sustainable development in the marketplace and how we can contribute to reducing the negative impacts of plastic production. The more consumers who know about businesses that sell ecofriendly products, the better chance we have at saving the planet from toxic waste and pollution. Supporting National Biobased Product Day helps promote sustainability and educates consumers to make informed purchase decisions for ecofriendly products over alternative, non-renewable products. We encourage you to be a part of the growing change and take charge of your purchasing power with products you can feel good about. Take part in National Biobased Product Day by supporting businesses that are eco-minded and always consider ecofriendly product alternatives. Every biobased product brings us that much closer to a brighter future. Learn more about our biobased products: https://lnkd.in/dNtvVWj3
