Scottsdale, AZ – On the heels of this weekend’s Live Earth record setting concert and thousands of pledges committed on behalf of the environment, Earth 911 (http://www.earth911.org) urges people to visit its zip-code based recycling locater and environmental resource portal for information on how and where to recycle in their communities.
Earth 911’s new Web site, which was officially relaunched on May 18, 2007, also includes thousands of tips and resources on implementing more environmentally-friendly activities in one’s daily life. The site features actionable content on numerous environmental issues with opportunities for users to interact and post comments.
“Just because events like Earth Day and Live Earth have concluded doesn’t mean people should forget about the purpose of the event,” said Earth 911 CEO Jeffrey Rassas. “Our goal at Earth 911 is to make every day Earth Day, the green movement is now a momentum.”
