The web address of this page is http://www.green-metroplex.com/Alternative/News/By_State/DFW/Index.html Revised: 9/12/2008 What we ask of you, a responsible citizen: We encourage you to get and use recycling waste containers at home and at work. Computers and Compact Fluorescent Lamps are hallmarks of our time. It is incumbent on us all to take the extra step of recycling these items at hazard waste disposal sites instead of discarding them into the solid waste landfills by hiding them in our weekly garbage for pick up. Please do your part to insure that the highly toxic metals and chemicals found in these and other useful or very efficient and necessary devices do not wind up in our country's ground water aquifer and fresh air as a result of our negligence when they are past their useful life. In Addition: We encourage you to always charge your E-trike or any electric battery powered devices or vehicles ONLY AT NIGHT, when that practice will actually decrease your Carbon Footprint. |
