Brand Activists for clean air.

We are privileged to have a business where every day we make a difference in the world. Whether it’s helping to break the grip of addiction, promoting sustainable living, fighting for stronger education or any one of dozens of other causes or products we fight for on a daily basis, at RIESTER we are lucky and honored to work for our clients. We are Brand Activists and we come to work each day fighting for many worthy brands.

One of these brands is the air we breathe. Last month RIESTER helped the Maricopa County Air Quality Department conduct its first annual conference. Lawrence Odle, the department’s director, had this to say after the event: “The Partnering for Cleaner Air Conference was the first in many steps needed to clean the air in Maricopa County. Each and every person has an individual responsibility to improve air quality and unless we educate our citizens and community leaders about what processes need to be followed, we take the risk of losing crucial federal funding for the state, and that is not an option.”

Our team was thrilled to meet Denis Hayes who was the keynote speaker. Hayes was the national coordinator of the first Earth Day when he was only 25. Since that day in 1970, Hayes has continued to distinguish himself as an activist for our Earth. Thank you Denis and a special thank you to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department’s staff for the fine work they do every day to promote clean air.
