Celebrate Earth Day 2019!

Earth Day, the world’s largest environmental movement happening on April 22, is fast approaching.

The global event was first held in 1970 in the United States, where millions of people marched against environmental destruction brought about by industrial development.

Since then, the modern environmental movement has been celebrated by a billion people in more than 190 countries around the globe every year.

However, celebrating Earth day should not be confined to just one day. The annual celebration is being used by everyone to spread awareness on how to protect the Earth.

Showing our love for our planet should be a habit. Here are some hacks and easy changes we can do to celebrate Earth day every day.

Avoid using one-time use plastic

Since the invention of plastic in the 1950s, we have become heavily dependent on it. We use plastic in everything—from bottles to utensils, from shopping bags to containers.

These plastics end up in dumpsters, or worse, in oceans. Based on estimates, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said our world would have more plastic in oceans than fish by 2050.

To do our part in lessening plastic pollution, it is a good practice to stop using single-use plastics to protect the environment.

Use reusable utensils when eating outside, instead of using a plastic spoon and fork. Bring your own water container instead of buying bottled drinks. When shopping for groceries, use reusable bags.

Walk the talk

The World Health Organization (WHO) said the transport sector is the top contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But there’s a way to do your part in reducing air pollution.

You don’t always have to use your car when going to places. If the place you’re going to can be reached by just walking, consider walking. Not only would you save on gas money, but your body would also get some exercise. But if you’re going to a farther place, try riding a bike or carpooling.

Be energy efficient at home

Energy consumption in the US mainly comes from the residential and commercial sector, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

In particular, our houses use a lot of energy for electricity, heating, and cooling. There are simple ways to make our home energy efficient.

Make sure to turn off lights and unplug appliances and electronics when not in use. Use LED lights to improve energy usage for lighting. Regularly maintain your big appliances such as your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit.

These are some simple steps to save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save money in the long run.

Switch to paperless billing

Technology and innovation have provided us so much convenience in living our lives. It has also ushered in the digital age, making communication faster and easier.

Digitization has allowed so many improvements in daily activities. This includes paperless billing.

eStatements, the digital or electronic versions of your accounts and transactions, has helped save millions of trees every year. You can opt to switch all of your bills to e-bills to help minimize cutting down of trees.

Practice the 3 Rs

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, or the 3 Rs, has long been pushed in waste management. Doing the 3 Rs can help a lot in cutting down the amount of waste we throw away.

By turning the 3 Rs into a habit, you will help save natural resources and money, conserve energy, and reduce waste sent to landfills.

Apart from our customers, the environment is one of Junk King Sacramento’s top priorities. We are an eco-friendly junk removal company headquartered in Sacramento.

We, at Junk King Sacramento, can be your partner in helping the Earth. Give us a call and let us help you with all of your junk removal needs. We make recycling your junk a priority. Contact us today! 1-888-888-5865 (JUNK)

Benefits of Recycling Junk

Recycling aims to breathe a new life to items that would otherwise be called trash, junk, or clutter. However, despite its benefits, not many people consider that their junk can be recycled which causes junk accumulation at your local dump.

To explain further how recycling can help heal the environment and improve the wellbeing of Mother Nature, we are introducing you to the two most important benefits of recycling.

CONSERVES ENERGY

Recycling conserves energy:

When clothing is created, a considerate amount of energy is put into the creation process. From the production line of the clothing companies; to raw materials to the packing, an entire supply chain is utilized.

The same goes for recycling scrap metal. According to Tampa Steel, in the United States alone, there are more than 150 million tons of scrap metal thrown away every year. These metal items transcend from soda cans to galvanized metal.

REDUCES TRASH IN LANDFILLS

Bestpickreports.com noted that 13 million tons of textiles end up in landfills or about five percent of the country’s total solid waste. Items like clothing can be upcycled or recycled into various forms. Since clothes are made of fibrous materials, they can be recycled into high-quality paper products, rags, and even organic or eco-friendly construction materials. Not all textiles can be kept from filling up landfills, but most can be recycled.

Another problem in the landfill is plasticthe . With decades and centuries needed before plastic is broken down, plastic has become one of this generation’s big problems. With so much plastic in our oceans, even the extinction of some sea creatures is threatened.

Not only that, but it also poses a high risk to the increasing carbon footprint of the world.

With recycling, these two huge problems can be mitigated.

CREATES JOBS

Saving the planet also helps support families, as recycling also helps create jobs.

According to Tampa Steel, recycling metal has produced jobs worth $236 billion on an annual basis. This means that there is an economic benefit in recycling.

This is quickly echoed by the National Institute of Health saying recycling metal gives 36 times the amount of job than plain sending metal to incinerators.

For these reasons, it is important to note whether the junk removal company that you will employ is in partnership with organizations that advocates recycling or if the company itself has a recycling initiative.

We, at Junk King, make sure that we do not only take care of your space but also value the environment. We are committed to green practices including recycling. Rest assured that when you employ our services, we run a strict evaluation course for all items gathered so we can identify which things are for the landfill and which things are for donation, recycling, or upcycling.
