Celebrating Earth Day, Everyday

If you didn’t see a flurry of social media posts celebrating ‘Earth Day’ on the 22nd of April, you might be living under a rock. While commemorating a day to support environmental protection is a worthy cause, consistency is the key. Conscious brands all over the world have ramped up their efforts to further help the planet while showing that plant-based options are better for the environment than meat and dairy. We’d love to share how we celebrated Earth Day this year and things that are we doing consistently to help save the planet. After all, it’s in our hands to make conscious choices every day.

Reimagine a better world | A contest for designers, artists, illustrators, and anyone who wanted to imagine a better world

As a run-up to Earth Day, we launched the ‘Reimagine a better world’ contest. We tried to shine a spotlight on endangered animals, especially Only Earth plant-based milk's ambassadors Pixie the Red Panda, Ollie the Orangutan & Ryan the Rhinoceros. We urged artists, illustrators, and designers from across India to envision these characters in a better world.?With over 100 participants, our ambassadors came alive in exciting renditions. These masterpieces were shared on Instagram and two winners were awarded Wacom Intuos Pro tablets. Do have a look at the hashtag #reimagineabetterworld for all the entries.

Spotlighting the ‘Green Team’

On Earth Day we kicked off a small series on Instagram, featuring our ‘Green Team’. Since we walk the talk, we featured our founder and the rest of the Only Earth team, who have made a significant change in their life for the betterment of the planet. From going vegan to switching to earth-friendly products and signing up for a more sustainable life, we hope to make a change and inspire others to do so as well.

While these initiatives culminated or kicked off to commemorate earth day, our entire being is rooted in saving the planet. Here are five of the things that are core to our brand:?

Only Earth milks are made entirely from plant-based ingredients. Find our delicious coconut and oat milk on Amazon, Big Basket, and several other platforms.

We donate 1% of our revenue each year towards a cause that helps the environment.

We have partnered with Maldives based marine biologists and consultants, called Reefscapers who restore coral reefs in the south atoll region of the ocean

We are well on track with our mission to planet 1,00,000 trees in the next five years

We have nearly finalized our partnership with a leading animal welfare association to work closely with their protection and rehabilitation plan in India.

Many companies selling alternatives to meat and dairy are already better for the environment because they require fewer resources and have a smaller environmental footprint, many brands are looking to do more to bring awareness to the impact of our food choices. All of this helps slow climate change, and secure our global food supply. From promoting better environmental policies to encouraging consumers to trade in their food choices consistent eco-initiatives help build a greener future. Hope you’ll join us in the same.
