Research further supports that companies who manufacture products with a cause related story, will receive greater support from the consumer market as well. “You absolutely should expect to get a more favorable response to a cause-related item,” says Duke marketing professor Gavin Fitzsimons. This carries over into using items made from recycled materials and other eco-friendly products, he says. “If you’re using a recycled cup or shirt, there is a certain amount of pride. … I can think of examples for myself where, because I’m associating myself with a cause, I believe I feel like I’m starting my day on a positive note by wearing a cause-related shirt.”
“Our research has always found Americans have stronger favorability to companies that support causes,” says Alison DaSilva, executive vice president at the research firm Cone. Translation, find a way to incorporate a great cause into your holiday gift giving this year.
ABOUT CG KIDZ CG Kidz believes that through eco-assemblies, educational webinars and events, kids in 2-5th grade have the power to influence the environmental awareness of millions of children and adults. This initial concept and idea by then 11 year old Riley Hoffer, set the stage for our 2008 launch and it remains at the core of our mission today.
CG Kidz mobilizes students in elementary schools, educating them about environmental issues, which in turn, inspires them to take action. A pioneer in linking the power of children’s voices to environmental awareness, it was CG Kidz who introduced Bottle Free Schools™, launching the concept of eliminating plastic water bottles from schools and campuses everywhere, and bringing the concept of reusable water bottles and refill or “hydration stations” to thousands of previously unaware districts everywhere.
A venerable liaison between the kids and the environmental community, our role is active and diverse. We work to share and educate with environmental messages in the most creative and influential ways. In tandem with CynerGreen, the founding organization and inventors of Bottle Free™ environments, CG Kidz offers practical guidance on how kids and individuals can green their day-to-day lives while taking a stand on important environmental issues that will impact their futures. CG Kidz is a pending 501(C)3, non-profit organization in the state of Arkansas.
Our Mission To bring environmental education, and awareness to kids in 2nd through 5th grades; empowering them to take action in their communities for a cleaner, greener future. It is our mission to share information and influence children to have a voice and carry the message of environmental stewardship throughout their lives, helping to do their part and make a difference.
