Adbongo is going gold. That’s right, we’re ditching paper for the shiny, sparkly stuff. Why? The answer is simple: the value of gold is increasing while the purchasing value of fiat currency is decreasing. Plus, gold can’t be counterfeited, it’s not so easy to burn, and it can be molded into a sculpture of a [...]

{EAV_BLOG_VER:83a7aef17dcdc492} We at Adbongo are excited by the latest report regarding socially responsible investing (SRI), and we thought we’d spread the news. Lately, reading the papers hasn’t exactly been a joyful experience, so we’re happy to share a study that paints an optimistic picture of the state of human consciousness.

We have created initial plans for an eco-business park. Ancillary businesses on-site will take in the recycling facility’s outputs to change them into usable products; each business will be consciously developed based on its ability to use excess materials from the recycling facility and other neighboring businesses so that the park will function as a sustainable organism complete within itself. As the business incubator, Adbongo will strap rocket boosters on the businesses within this park.
Over the last twenty years, as we’ve come to understand the detriment our happy-to-consume society inflicts upon the environment, many households and communities have heeded the recycling call. We applaud this fact! It is wonderful that so many have taken personal responsibility for the care of the earth in the face of a problem that sometimes feels overwhelming. With our model, we hope to make it easier for all of us to take care of the planet. We plan to rehabilitate and beautify the old landfill areas, and we will offer education and training on-site and for the community so that we might share the technologies we’ll be using with interested communities across the globe.
Adbongo continues to trumpet the cause-washing warning. We ask for accountability and authenticity in cause marketing. While some companies are truly doing good things for people and the planet (read: ADBONGO), others contribute .0000008 percent of profit to a selected cause and reap the publicity rewards for doing so. Painting halos to cover the devil horns of corporate greed allows old paradigm companies to masquerade as socially and environmentally progressive. Adbongo is one marketing company that does not approve of such a deceptive tactic. We only seek to represent those companies that want more than good publicity for themselves; we promote companies that are committed to supporting real change on behalf of the planet and its people.
Thank you to Enlumnia, Mega 26, and Graphic Content for partnering with Adbongo. We’re honored and grateful.
