While we celebrate the incredible moms in our lives, let’s also honor the one we all share—Mother Earth. This Mother’s Day, show some love to Mother Earth.
Did you know?
- Our planet provides 6 vital resources: water, air, oil, natural gas, coal & minerals.
- These resources are finite—when they’re gone, they’re gone. And we’re consuming them faster than Earth can replenish.
- In 2024, “Earth Overshoot Day” came on August 1st — a mere 3 days better than in 2022
Earth Overshoot Day is the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.
But there’s hope: the 7th Resource—recyclables! Reimagining waste as a resource is the heart of the circular economy—and it could unlock $4.5 trillion in economic value by 2030.
One easy way to show Mother Earth some love
Recycle or refurbish your electronics! Old phones, laptops, and tablets contain toxic materials & valuable metals. When disposed of improperly, they pollute our land, water & air.
- Refurbishing gives tech new life.
- Recycling reduces toxic waste.
- Secure data wiping keeps your info safe.
Businesses in the Mid-Atlantic
Partner with Electronics Value Recovery for secure, responsible e-scrap disposal. We are R2v3 and ISO certified. Our mission is to help organization enhance sustainability and security through responsible IT Asset Disposition and recycling. Each device that potentially contains data is individually checked in and sent for testing for possible reuse, parts harvesting or recycling. Data storage components are wiped for reuse or shred for scrap recycling.
Individuals
Check with your local county or search “Electronics Recycling Near Me.” Many spring events combine recycling and document shredding. Call to confirm that the facility is open to the public and the hours of operation. Before recycling, remove personal data. Simply hitting “delete” isn’t enough—check the manufacturer’s site for instructions.
Small actions make a big impact.
This Mother’s Day, let’s give a little love back to the planet we all call home.
