Today is Earth Day, which—this year—is themed after the Earth Day Network’s ‘A Billion Acts of Green’ campaign. This program seeks to amass one billion pledges by the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Brazil. At the program’s website users can submit their ‘Acts of Green’ towards the program’s goal. We encourage you to visit the site and submit an ‘Act of Green’ of your own. Regardless of if it’s big or small, you’ll still be making a difference!
The environment is extremely important to us here at Small Dog Electronics. We strongly factor in Planet with People and Profit in our triple bottom line, and do our best to implement environmentally sustainable and green business practices on a daily basis. In 2004, we wanted to expand our commitment to the environment, so we began a local eWaste recycling program through our Vermont retail stores. This initiative has since expanded, and in 2007 we initiated a free recycling day in honor of Earth Day. This year, even if it’s as small as switching out a desk lamp with a compact fluorescent lightbulb, we encourage you to be as green as possible.
