Earth Day

Sunday was Earth Day. Earth Day is an annual day in which events are held all over the world to help increase awareness and appreciate the environment. The first Earth Day was held in 1970 and is held on April 22 of each year. These days it is not hard to find people trying to make the Earth a better place.

In fact, my 2nd Grade daughter came home from school last week with many things she wanted us to do at home to help the Earth. She started off by running and checking all our faucets for leaks/drips. She told us we had to turn off the lights in rooms we were not in and she even wanted us to unplug all the appliances in each room when we left it.

My favorite though, was when she asked if I could start using old cooking oil in my car instead of gas! It was hard for her to understand that I couldn’t just start filling my car up with the old cooking oil. (They had read an article about a car that was able to run on this type of oil and thought that every car had that capability!)

What she did understand though after a little explaining, was how the EnduroSolv® line of Solid Water Treatment Chemicals was making a difference in the environment. I explained to her that not only do our chemicals help re-use water, but they also reduce the carbon footprint. (As you might imagine, the concept of carbon footprint also took a little explaining).

But when I told her that if every facility in the United States switch to EnduroSolv® products, it would be like taking 52,000 cars of the roads (from a carbon footprint standpoint), she was able to understand that! And as was the case her desire for me to switch from gasoline to old cooking oil, she instantly wanted to know why everyone wasn’t using our products so that all those “cars” could be removed from the roads! I wish everyone could think this simplistically and just make the switch!

Besides helping the environment, EnduroSolv® Solid Water Treatment has many benefits that could help your facilities water treatment needs. If you would like additional information please let us know and we can get you in contact with an EnduroSolv® dealer near you.

Happy Belated Earth Day!
