Regina Lim is the group lead for the Singapore chapter of the Earthforce equality group, which is Salesforce\u2019s community for sustainability. In this post, Regina shares how Earthforce promotes environmental responsibility<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every month at Salesforce, groups of environmentally conscious staff members come together to help make the world a better, safer, and more sustainable place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our teams sometimes take boat trips along waterways to collect rubbish. Once a month, we trek nature trails to learn from guides about the unique local ecosystem. Other times, we welcome special guest speakers. They help our members figure out what we can do and who we can partner with to help protect the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are members of the Earthforce equality group. Globally, Earthforce boasts over 9,000 adventurous and passionate nature lovers throughout the Salesforce family. Every one of them is aware of the power of the individual in creating change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we can make change<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Individuals, particularly when they come together in groups, can make a big difference. Climate change has many serious effects on the Earth. Therefore, it\u2019s more important than ever that we bring as many people as possible on board to make that difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salesforce\u2019s Earthforce chapters around the world help to spearhead this movement. Local chapters have their own processes and events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Earth Month, we have planned themes in advance and activities to match those themes. For example, we also compile lists of local organisations we\u2019d like to make contact with, or partner with, to promote our cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more people and organisations we can get involved with, the more empowered we become. For instance, we encourage our customers to join us by creating Earthforce groups of their own. Salesforce has even released videos such as this one<\/a>, showing interested customers how they might best do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
