Default Environmental Slogan

The mining company I work for is looking for a slogan to show commitment to the environment. No more than 5 words.

My thoughts are

Anyone creative have any thoughts?

"We care just enough to know we have to come up with a slogan about caring".

Crap, that's not 5 words.

Snark aside, you can't just expect to pull a slogan out of thin air. Good slogans have to emerge from some kernel of truth about the company. Tell us how your company cares, or what it's doing to show commitment to the environment, and we might have something to work with. However if this is just to act as lip service or make a generic statement that doesn't actually say anything, than you shouldn't even bother...it's better to just stick to being a mining company.

It would help to know more about the mining company. But I agree with the post above coming up with a slogan is almost like doing a branding excercise. Other wise you get a slogan like

(Insert name here) We didn't kill Bambi . . . honestly.

I've heard there is communication/PR/advertising companies that you can pay money to for such services. They've got copywriters, creative directors, communication specialist, just all kinds of folks who make a living doing what you're asking CP to do for free.

There are plenty of slogans out there already, just re-purpose one:

Mining, it's finger licking good.

Push button mining.

Earth, Beauty outside, Beast within.

Between love and madness lies Mining

Mining, Outwit, Outplay, Outlast

Mining, Don't be evil

Mining, See what we mean.

Mining, I am what I am

A Mine is a terrible thing to waste

Mining, when there is no tomorrow.

The Greatest Tragedy is Mining

Mine in your world, play in ours.

Mine, the happiest place on Earth

Mining, pleasing people the world over

Mining, nothing is impossible

Mining is the path to Joy

Let you fingers do the mining

Mining for a small planet

A Mine is forever

Mining never goes out of style

Mining, just do it

Mining people

Success, it's a mine game

Expand you mine, change your world

Mine Fresh

Mine Everything

Your Vision, Our Mine

Mine the most of now

Mine to the last drop

Mining, because you're worth it

Mine the friendly sky

Have you mined life today

Get mine or get out

Mine it. Sell it. Love it
