Fairies Exist... Green Recycling Ones, I Mean

While at a totally unrelated meeting with my friend, motivational speaker and networking expert Tom Gosche, at a Starbucks (where else?), Tom introduced me to green & gardening expert and social media maven, Shawna Coronado, who just “happened” to be there for another meeting, too. Funny how the universe works. Since then I have gotten to know Shawna as a friend and following her adventures always makes me smile.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to participate in one of her green adventures. She was making some videos to encourage businesses to go greener at the office. Business-y looking folks were needed for extras and, thus, my career in film was launched (*snickers*).

I hope you’ll enjoy watching… and pass it along to any businesses or events that might be interested in doing some fun instructional videos on green topics. What I like about using videos to drive home important points is that it does it in an engaging and entertaining way without bludgeoning viewers with facts and scare tactics. How could you drive home a green topic for your organization, event or cause with a fun video?

I know videos work! I’ve used them myself on our PromoWithPurposeTV Channel to discuss the greener promotional products that we offer on PromoWithPurposeShop.com.

Subscribe to Shawna’s YouTube Channel “The Casual Gardener” and check out her “Gardening Nude” blog and book (absolutely LOVE that title!). Thanks, Shawna, for letting me be a part of your mission!
