Environmental Awareness Month is almost over! This month is special for many, as protecting the environment has become a top issue in recent years.
Celebrating Environmental Awareness Month doesn’t require large festivities. Simply educating yourself on personal environmental contributions is more than enough! Companies such as Discount Dumpster also have a great stake in spreading environmental awareness.
We encourage everyone to do their part in keeping our local environments clean and safe, which is the entire crux of Environmental Awareness Month!
Environmental Awareness Month is celebrated every September, typically by environmental organizations. They use the month to put environmental causes on blast, raising awareness that can translate into future action.
There are many organizations that participate in Environmental Awareness Month and each tackles specific issues. The Conservation Fund, for example, primarily deals with wildlife conservation. Feeding America, also a participant, focuses on combating food waste. Even the Boy Scouts take part in Environmental Awareness Month activities!
Having a diverse set of organizations take part in environmental efforts helps expand the scope of what is achievable. It’s not just charitable organizations that can make a difference here, however. For-profit companies can also use resources to spread environmental awareness efforts. This is especially true with waste management companies.
