Earth Day, an annual event, began in 1970 and is now celebrated in over 192 countries. On this day, events occur all over the world to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. It is a most important event because it emphasizes the need for everyone to do whatever he or she can do to keep our environment clean and safe. In addition, Earth Day is important because almost everywhere you look, nature is under assault and if damage is not repaired in time, then our world will eventually deteriorate to the point where it will become uninhabitable.
Several important landmark accomplishments have occurred since its beginning such as: The Clean Air Act of 1970, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, The Clean Water Act of 1972, The Endangered Species Act of 1973, and several other important federal health and safety acts. Because of Earth Day, many of us now conduct our everyday lives much differently by practicing recycling, using other energy efficient forms of energy such as CFL light bulbs and learning that the ozone layer is now under control. Eco-friendly products keep our environment healthy and strong.
At Captain Notepad, we understand the importance of making eco-friendly products. There are many things you and I can do to support Earth Day, such as buying earth friendly notepads. We understand the importance of recycling and we incorporate this technique into our products. We carry eco-friendly notepads that are made from 100% recycled paper, soy-based inks and we also use earth friendly water-based adhesives.
What can you do?
If everyone would recycle their newspapers, more than a million trees could be saved. Planting a tree also keeps our environment healthy and strong. Other things you and I can do to support Earth Day is to turn off our computers at night. This can save almost 40 watt-hours a day. By recycling glass, you can reduce air pollution by 20 percent. Washing in cold or warm water can save a great deal of energy. Using both sides of a paper can also help our environment.
