Every year on Earth Day, people take a moment to reflect on what they can do to keep our planet healthy. Fortunately, some people feel that one day is insufficient to make a significant impact. Our sponsors support a program that pulled 144,094 garbage bags off the highway last year, roughly the weight of 24 elephants! That’s nearly 240 tons! Not only are highways beautified, but trash is sorted and recycled. We do this all year and have been doing it for over 23 years. So, on this Earth Day, we would like to thank all our sponsors who go beyond the day to make a difference for us all!
We also want to take a quick moment to shout out to some of our office staff here who go a little bit out of their way to make a difference. Thanks, Carol Blunden, Joe De La Riva, and Brian Szatkowski! Our office superstars are not only constantly competing with each other for our empty soda cans but also e-cycle old batteries, keeping them out of landfills where they turn into hazardous waste! Every little bit helps, and when you have a lot of people doing a little bit, the difference is enormous!
