Earth Day, April 22, 2008

Americans produce enough trash every year to fill a line of garbage trucks that would stretch from the Earth half-way to the moon. That’s 4.6 pounds of trash per person, per day. All of that waste doesn’t have to go to waste, though. With Earth Day approaching Carbonfund.org is asking for your help to turn rubbish into a local, renewable fuel source.

Methane landfill biodigesters like the ones that Carbonfund.org supports in New Bedford, Massachusetts typically produce enough electricity to power 850 households and remove 162,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year – the equivalent of planting 49,000 acres of trees. So instead of just wasting trash, we’re urging you to use this Earth Day to put our trash to work for the environment.

Parks Printing takes our commitment to the environment seriously. That is why we are reducing our carbon footprint with Carbonfund.org and why we asking you to do the same. An alternative energy future awaits us - all it needs is you. With your help we can make renewable energy the norm instead of the alternative, while helping kick our dirty, fossil fuel habit. Reach for the green and support Carbonfund.org’s Earth Day Challenge today!
