Today is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. Rubberecycle encourages you to think about how you contribute to the conservation of the earth’s resources. A big part of Earth Day is choosing to recycle and to buy recycled products.
Here are 5 simple tips to celebrating Earth Day with actions that preserve resources:
1. unplug electronics when they aren’t in use (like your computer)
2. turn out lights to conserve energy (and use low energy light bulbs)
3. recycle (this one is our favorite!)
4. ride your bike, bus or carpool to reduce air pollution
5. Support alternative energy sources – some states are offering incentives with tax rebates for going green.
As part of the Billion Acts of Green, an initiative organized by the Earth Day Network’s Green Generation campaign, more than 30 million people will use social media to encourage green activities. But the real changes come from changing lifestyle habits and supporting recycling by choosing products that are made with recycled materials.
Not only citizens, but companies should look for ways to lessen their impact on the earth. We’re trying to do our part by recycling tires that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Rubberecycle manufactures a unique rubber granule product recycled from 100% scrap tires. Consumers love our rubber mulch because it’s safe, economical, long-lasting and most importantly, environment-friendly.
We encourage you to use Rubber Mulch for you landscaping. Don’t cut down the trees for wood chips! Rubber Mulch is softer and safer! In honor of Earthday!
Also, teach your kids and family about what they can do. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Earth Day at home: http://holidays.kaboose.com/earthday-activities.html
However you celebrate we hope you’ll go green this Earth Day – and not just for the day – but for the rest of the year too.
