My 5: Julio Marchi, CEO, SIP Global

BPGL: What are the five most important things we can do to save the planet?

JULIO MARCHI:

• Education is the key to a better future. Information is what we need now to minimize current problems, but future generations must carry with them the concept of preservation, as it is a civil matter.

• Individually, everyone should start the day thinking, “What am I going to do today to help preserve the environment?” Single actions, every day, from everyone, will make a huge positive difference in society’s impact on the environment.  

• We all need to question ourgovernments more about what they are doing to regulate pollution and enhance conservation. Governments have the tendency to only work hard when elections are getting closer, but they also get things done when there is a popular commotion about some specific subject.

• Every one of us must always refuse to use harmful products, and always opt for green products whenever possible. It may sound a bit too “activist,” but in fact it can create an impact on companies’ profits. If the harmful products are in less demand from the public, the green products will get more attention from manufacturers. Besides, store shelves act as a meter for store owners about what to sell and what not to sell. If green products run out quickly, store owners will request more frequent replacements from the manufacturers — and in higher quantities. Harmful products will lose space on store shelves.

• Everyone should join an organization (any organization) and help them to move their projects forward. Regardless of the organization, it is important that everyone participate. For you who are reading this message, I invite you to surf the Internet and find some organizations that have messages you believe in and missions you can support. Regardless whether the organization you choose to support is SIP Global — or any other — the important point is for you to participate in the process. After all, we are all working to save our planet, and when we succeed, we will all be enjoying a better future. If you like our message and agree with the SIP Global mission, we will welcome you and everyone else who wants to become a member and help us with our challenges. In our case, it has no cost and no obligation. But as a member, anyone is able to follow everything we are doing and even interact with the whole process.
