As BigTent’s self-proclaimed “Green Queen,” I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Earth Day! When I’m not supporting groups to get the most out of BigTent, I’m busy turning off idle computer monitors, recycling ink cartridges, and replacing standard bulbs with energy-efficient CFLs. As an eco-conscious person, I am really proud to work at BigTent because the company actively volunteers at park clean up events and helps groups “Go Green.”
A lot of groups use BigTent because it’s a great solution for going paperless. Groups using BigTent’s news feature can save trees (not to mention expensive printing costs) by sending their newsletters out electronically rather than in print via mail.
Members can access a roster online rather than go hunting for a printed copy, and register and pay for their memberships online instead of filling out paper forms or mailing checks.
Plus, group leaders can organize volunteer events and track sign ups using our events feature. All these earth-friendly benefits are enough to make Kermit admit that it really is easy being green.
Some of our groups go beyond simply saving paper (and time) with our online tools, and make it their mission to better their environment. BigTent has several groups dedicated to advocating for and protecting the environment, and we’re always looking for more join us! New groups (green or otherwise) can sign up for BigTent in just a few minutes.
A big thanks to our BigTent groups for all the work you do to keep our earth healthy. To show our appreciation, members of groups on BigTent can send a free Earth Day gift to other group members at www.bigtent.com/home/gifts. Happy Earth Day!
Best,
Michelle & the BigTent team
