Play Your Part, A Sustainable Future At Home Is Achievable

Julie Starr • January 15, 2021



It seems that before our eyes there is a collective change in awareness of environmental protection, quality of life, the importance of natural nutrition, and a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Not an obvious matter, especially in light of the last century and the way advertisements defined a way of life and a Western and wasteful consumer culture. Since the Industrial Revolution, and the ensuing technological advancement, we have been living in a damaged and polluted environment in micro and macro, in our immediate environment, and in the global environment. Earth Day is a good time to start cleansing your home environment of toxins. Earth day is 22 April 2021. A date to put in your calendars!  Endless piles of hard, industrialized, durable, and polluting waste, which is absorbed into the soil and evaporates into the sky, alongside the animal and plant world which suffers ongoing damage resulting from the desire to occupy more land and eat more animals. All of these are our environment, in which we live and raise our children, which has been drastically damaged in the last hundred years.  

Today, with the growing awareness and tremendous efforts of various associations and organizations, we are truly succeeding in predicting an awakening, one that it is time for.  Instead of us going out to watch music concerts, staying home and enjoying what Radio Jingles has to offer may be a better solution. Or instead of taking your car to the store, look at getting a bike, so you can tone your thighs as well as help the planet. 

In order to live in a home space free of chemicals and toxic substances, you do not need extreme actions that require a lot of investment. All you have to do is stop using toxic substances and synthetic products, combine natural substances in the space, and take care of proper air purification. Ecological ingredients – it is advisable to stop using regular detergents and switch to organic products without toxins, or to any natural vinegar and essential oil that will give a good smell. There are many methods of detoxification, discover them.

Textiles and natural furniture 

Combine natural textiles with pillows, curtains, rugs, and bedding. It is advisable to cover the sofa upholstered in stain-repellent synthetic fabric, in natural cotton fabric to prevent direct contact with toxic materials. The trend of recycled wood in an eclectic industrial style has brought quite a few toxic substances to the home environment, such that the wood absorbed while it was in industrial use. In terms of textiles, choosing a synthetic fabric that prevents stains is very common, especially among young families looking for a practical solution in life with children. The synthetic fabric releases into the air space and in direct contact, toxic substances that are not worth coming into contact with. The same goes for the synthetic carpet produced by the machine, and plastic products, and synthetic materials. There are natural alternatives, such as cotton and linen fabrics, eco-friendly products manufactured under supervision and standard mark.

Earth Day is a Moment. Sustainability is a Journey.

By Julie Starr • April 7, 2025
Every April 22nd, Earth Day reminds us of our shared responsibility to care for the planet. It’s a powerful moment for reflection, recognition, and renewed commitment to environmental stewardship. But for companies like Taiga, Earth Day is not just a day—it's a checkpoint in a journey that spans all 365 days of the year. Beyond the Day: The Power of Year-Round Storytelling While Earth Day is an excellent opportunity to spotlight your company's environmental efforts, the true impact lies in consistent, transparent communication about your sustainability strategy. Customers, investors, employees, and partners are increasingly interested in how companies plan, act, and improve over time. To build trust and inspire action, companies should: Share clear targets: What are your goals for emissions reduction, circularity, or biodiversity? Make them specific and time-bound. Report results honestly: Celebrate wins and be candid about setbacks. Progress, not perfection, is the story. Connect efforts to impact: Highlight how your initiatives benefit ecosystems, communities, or supply chains. Leveraging Earth Day as a Strategic Moment Think of Earth Day as a milestone that anchors your broader communications. Some ideas: Launch or preview new initiatives that reinforce your long-term strategy. Tell human stories: Showcase employees, community members, or suppliers contributing to sustainability. Host interactive events: Webinars, volunteer days, or innovation showcases invite people into the journey. Publish a sustainability snapshot: A visual, engaging recap of the past year's progress. Engaging Stakeholders Year-Round To keep the momentum going beyond April: Create a sustainability content calendar to share updates, behind-the-scenes looks, and educational content. Invite feedback: Use surveys or listening sessions to understand stakeholder priorities and ideas. Collaborate: Partner with NGOs, academics, or startups aligned with your mission. Recognize champions: Celebrate employees and partners who go above and beyond. Bringing It Together: A Continuous Narrative Earth Day is a valuable opportunity to raise awareness, but lasting impact comes from building a continuous narrative. At Taiga, we see sustainability not as a series of campaigns but as a shared journey with our stakeholders . When we connect the dots between moments like Earth Day and the year-round work behind the scenes, we not only deepen engagement—we accelerate change. So this Earth Day, let’s celebrate progress and recommit to transparency, collaboration, and bold action. The planet needs more than promises. It needs a plan. And it needs all of us.

Greener Clicks: How to Reduce Your Environmental Impact with Sustainable Digital Marketing

By Julie Starr • March 31, 2025
In the race to decarbonize our world, one area often overlooked is digital marketing. While it might seem inherently clean compared to print or physical campaigns, our online activities have a real and measurable environmental footprint. From servers powering your website to emails filling up inboxes, every click, stream, and scroll contributes to carbon emissions. At Taiga Company, we believe digital strategies can be powerful and low-impact. Here’s how to get started. Optimize for a Low-Carbon Web Why it matters: Websites and digital ads are hosted on servers that consume electricity, often powered by fossil fuels. Every time a user loads your site or ad, it uses energy. How to reduce your impact: Host green: Choose web hosts that use renewable energy or offset emissions. Clean up your code: Streamlined, efficient code reduces load times and energy use. Compress and reduce images: Smaller files mean faster pages and fewer emissions. Limit heavy media: Videos and animations are carbon-intensive; use them mindfully. A faster, leaner website isn’t just better for the planet—it also boosts SEO and user experience. Email Marketing with Intention Why it matters: Every email sent, received, and stored requires energy. Multiply that by millions of sends, and the impact adds up. How to reduce your impact: Clean your lists: Remove inactive subscribers to avoid waste. Segment wisely: Only send emails to those who will truly benefit. Use plain-text when possible: It’s lower in data and often more accessible. Reduce frequency: Send fewer, higher-quality emails with genuine value. Intentional emailing reduces not only emissions but also improves deliverability and engagement. Sustainable SEO and Content Strategy Why it matters: Search engines crawl, index, and serve up billions of web pages daily. Thoughtless content and bloated sites add to the load. How to reduce your impact: Create evergreen content: Focus on high-quality pages that stay relevant longer. Streamline your site structure: Fewer clicks to find content = less energy use. Use minimal plugins and scripts: Especially ones that load on every page. Green your CMS: Some content management systems are more resource-efficient than others. Sustainable SEO isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s good strategy. Fewer, better pieces often perform better than content mills. Rethink Marketing Automation Why it matters: Automated emails, ads, and data syncing can create a lot of digital clutter. That clutter eats up storage and energy. How to reduce your impact: Audit regularly: Retire old workflows and outdated automations. Optimize syncing: Reduce how often and how much data is transferred. Segment with purpose: Better targeting means fewer wasted sends. Use expiration dates: Don’t let outdated content or assets live forever. Efficient automation can reduce emissions and improve performance. Digital marketing isn’t going away—and it shouldn’t. It offers powerful tools for connection, education, and growth. But like all tools, it can be used more sustainably. At Taiga Company, we’re committed to helping organizations lower their environmental impact without sacrificing reach or results. Sustainable digital marketing is not only possible; it’s essential. Ready to make your marketing aligned with your company's corporate sustainability plan? Let’s start the conversation.
