Ecology of the Earth: Promoting Awareness

Writing is a good way to promote a good idea.  And Wizzley gives us a platform to launch our information to the world.  Write, and people will get your message.  Write in a way to make things understandable by the readers of the work is the most effective form of writing.  Write not to an audience of scientists, but take the concepts you are trying to convey and write in ordinary language.

But this is only a start of what you can do.

Advertise your ideas.  Have your message positioned so it can be read by many people.  No, you do not need to buy advertising time to do this.  Instead use your creativity.  Make Zazzle and CafePress products that have your message prominently displayed.  Certain products are better than others for getting a message out.  Below are some products that can readily convey a message.

I will concentrate on Zazzle here since there is a Zazzle module on Wizzley.

If you are not that creative, become an affiliate of Amazon and Zazzle and sell other people’s products for a profit.

Design shirts with your message.  Whether you add an image or not, make the lettering large.  People see your shirt as they walk by, and a long message with small lettering is not going to be read.  Use just a few words, and make the lettering large.  And use simple fonts or the lettering will be too difficult to read.  Remember, your shirt is made of material, and there usually is some distortion in the letters due to slight wrinkles in the material as you move about. 

Ecological concerns can be worded concisely and added to a shirt.  It is an inexpensive way to get the word out.  And can even be profitable.

A coffee mug on a desk can serve as a holder of coffee as intended, but it can also be the place your message is viewed.  If you have a message to be displayed at work you must conform to the rules, and this might require careful wording.  But, if messages are allowed you can advertise concerns for the ecology on a coffee mug.

Design your own coffee mug using Zazzle.  And, just as with shirts there are many already there to sell.

Reusable bags are becoming important since many stores are no longer handing out plastic or paper bags with groceries.  If stores do use bags they sometimes charge for them to discourage using paper or plastic.  Paper comes from trees, which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and plastic comes from oil, a resource of limited amount which has to be refined.

The surface of a reusable bag can be used to advertise concerns for the Earth.  And, if carefully chosen, the bag itself might be made from recycled material.

Reusable bags with ecological messages are available on Zazzle.

Zazzle products can be offered for sale, and when someone buys a product with the message regarding concern for the climate that person adds to the reach of your advertising.  You also get a royalty from the sale of your product.  So, using Zazzle enlists others to assist with advertising and you get paid for allowing them to do so!
