Got
Pet Food Cans?
Many people believe that recycling does not make a difference
in reducing environmental pollution.
The fact is not enough people recycle. It is that simple.
In a country that consumes a disproportionate amount of the
world's resources we have an obligation to recycle.
As a socially aware and environmentally conscious company
we are making every effort to minimize our environmental impact.
Therefore, we are asking our clients to recycle steel, aluminum
and tin - the materials found in your pet food cans.
If you do not recycle, leave your pet sitter a little note
and we will be happy to recycle your cans for you.
We
can all make small lifestyle changes to pitch in. The results
of your effort will be seen in the air we breath, the food
we eat, the water we drink and the communities that we live
in. |
Have you ever wondered what the numbers mean on the bottom of your
plastic products?
