Today is Earth Day, and we are celebrating the occasion! Here at BIGfish, we pride ourselves on working with clients who are doing things cleaner, better and cheaper. It’s important to us to feel good about the work we do each day, and we strive to consistently work towards making the world a better place.

Accordingly, each of the BIGfish team members have made a pledge to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible throughout the day today. Even simple gestures like bringing your coffee in a reusable thermos, carpooling to work, avoiding printing documents and turning off the lights when you leave a room make an impact. We encourage you to join us in this effort!

In addition to heeding the “3 R’s,” we’d like to share some of the great things a few of our clients do for the environment:

• Ambient Devices offers consumers a simple way to save energy with their line of in-home energy products, which communicate changes in energy pricing and demand by glowing a varying degree of colors. Ambient’s Energy Joule was a 2013 CES Innovations Honoree.

• Open Blue is committed to supplying the freshest, healthiest fish – and does so by feeding their cobia an all-natural diet that is free of contaminants and giving them plenty of room to swim in large, stress-free, deep-water net pens off the coast of Panama.

• Billaway converts a portion of consumers’ everyday spending into earned credits that can then be applied to monthly utility bills, enabling consumers to save on their monthly energy bills.

• And in November, AlwaysOn named BIGfish clients GreatPoint Energy and Luca Technologies GoingGreen Global 200 Top Companies, which spotlights the top companies that are disrupting global industries and creating viable business models for the green technology marketplace. To top it off, Ambient Devices and Glori Energy were named 2012 GoingGreen Silicon Valley Companies to watch.

Later this afternoon, we will be enjoying some tasty snacks to celebrate the Earth – stay tuned for photos. We hope you take some time to appreciate our planet today as well. Happy Earth Day!
