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.
Waste management companies know all too well the consequences of improper waste disposal and how that affects the environment. Even the smallest oversight can lead to major environmental catastrophes such as polluted drinking water or landfill fires!
Managing waste is a dirty business, no pun intended, and over time the logistics of managing all the waste becomes complex. There are things that companies in the waste industry can do to encourage environmental sustainability. These include:
This is just an easy shortlist of the things waste management companies can do. There are many things that companies like Discount Dumpster can do to help spread the word.
In general, Environmental Awareness Month helps the public become more aware of environmental causes and ways to help them. For Discount Dumpster, this month matters because it hits close to home!
As a waste management company, we have seen the consequences of improper waste disposal first-hand. We deal with the ripple effects of poor environmental practices, especially our drivers on the road! Safer environmental practices make Discount Dumpster a better company and helps us dispose of waste in more efficient ways.
In short, it is important to Discount Dumpster that good environmental causes be amplified and their efforts spread. What’s good for the planet is ultimately good for everyone, including the company!
Discount Dumpster has participated in its fair share of environmental efforts, including a nearly two year partnership with the National Forest Foundation! We can’t do this alone, however. We need everyone’s help!
