Pilot Pen Promotes Small Changes For Big Environmental Impact This Earth Day

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pilot Corporation of America (Pilot Pen) is celebrating Earth Day by encouraging others to set a "Green Goal," a commitment to make a single, simple, eco-friendly change in their daily routine. Small changes can have a significant positive environmental impact for future generations. Committing to a Green Goal not only promotes a better eco-footprint, but can also inspire others to consider their influence on the environment. To help motivate fans to join them in setting these goals, Pilot is giving away prizes to the top #GreenGoal posts on social media.  

Whether it is pledging to recycle at home, using reusable grocery bags or carpooling to work, it can be easy to implement eco-focused practices like these to help the environment. Other simple tasks could inclue: turning off the lights each time you leave a room, cut up the plastic rings 6 pack rings before throwing them out, or using a refillable water bottle instead of plastic water bottles.

Pilot encourages its fans to (1) select and write down their Green Goal, a small change to help write the next chapter for a cleaner planet, (2) take a picture of the goal and (3) post it to social media using #GreenGoal and tagging Pilot Pen (@PilotPenUSA).
