Join us throughout April for our annual Everforth Apex Earth Day Challenge! We’re rallying our entire community—employees, consultants, clients, family, and friends—to make a tangible difference for our planet. 🌍

What’s the Challenge? Throughout April, we encourage everyone to pick up bags of trash from your local parks, beaches, neighborhoods, or any place that needs a little love. 🗑️ For every bag of trash collected, Everforth Apex will donate $10 per bag on your behalf (up to $2,500), which will be split equally amongst these two environmental nonprofits: 1.) The Earth Institute 2.) World Wildlife Fund. 🌏

Why Participate?

• Make a Positive Impact: Help clean up our environment and reduce pollution.
• Support Vital Causes: Your efforts will directly contribute to the incredible work of The Earth Institute and the World Wildlife Fund.
• Build Community: Connect with fellow Everforth Apex members and friends while working towards a common goal.
• Boost Your Health: Picking up trash is a great way to get outside and enjoy fresh air and sunlight, which can reduce stress, boost your mood, and improve overall physical and mental health. Plus, the physical activity involved helps enhance coordination and dexterity.
• Have Fun: Enjoy the great outdoors and feel the satisfaction of making a difference!

How to Get Involved:

1. Collect Trash: Grab a bag and start picking up litter in your area.
2. Share Your Efforts: Take a photo with your filled bag and share it on social media with the hashtag #ApexGivesBack
3. Submit Your Count: Report the number of bags you’ve collected via our 'Trash Tracker' 

5 More Impactful Ways to Help Our Planet:

1. Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Opt for reusable items like water bottles, shopping bags, and food containers instead of single-use plastics. This helps reduce plastic waste and pollution. Bring tupperware if you go out to eat!
2. Conserve Water: Be mindful of water usage by fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and using water-efficient appliances. Conserving water helps protect our freshwater resources.
3. Support Sustainable Products: Choose products made from sustainable materials and those that have minimal environmental impact. Look for certifications like Fair Trade, organic, and eco-friendly labels.
4. Plant Trees and Native Plants: Trees and native plants help improve air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and support biodiversity. Participate in local tree-planting events or start a garden with native species.
5. Reduce Energy Consumption: Save energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and considering renewable energy sources like solar panels. Reducing energy consumption lowers greenhouse gas emissions and helps combat climate change.

Let’s Make April Count! Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier planet. Engaging in any of the above not only beautifies our world but also supports crucial environmental research and conservation efforts. Let’s show our commitment to the Earth and inspire others to do the same, one bag at a time! 🌱💚🌏
