Earth Day 2016

Every year on April 22nd, we recognize Mother Nature by celebrating National Earth Day. National Earth Day is held to demonstrate support for our environment and raise awareness about protecting it. Thousands of people organize and promote going “Green” to save the Earth. There are several ways for you to get involved. 


Keep reading to learn about 2 ways you can participate in Earth Day and do your part to protect our Earth.




Donate
The National Forests Foundation plants trees for every single dollar donated. The minimum donation is $15, which means your donation will plant 15 trees on Earth.

Recycle


Currently less than 35% of households and less than 10% of businesses in the U.S. recycle. If the US recycling levels can reach 75% it will be the environmental benefit of removing 50 million cars from the road each year and it will generate 1.5 million new jobs. Improving and increasing recycling is one of the greatest opportunities for our environment, our natural resources, and our economy! Start separating plastics, cans, paper, glass, cardboard, food waste, composts, and e-waste.

Learn more about the basics of recycling and start now.

There are so many wonderful opportunities for people of all ages and all backgrounds to participate in saving the Earth. This year, Bailey Orthodontics encourages you to do something that makes a difference and go Green! If we all take a little time out of our day to do something small, it could make a big difference.
