Earth 911 Encourages Proper Disposal of DMX Merchandise
Filed under: Earth 911, Press Releases - August 27, 2007
Scottsdale, AZ – Expecting a backlash from animal lovers against rapper Earl Simmons, aka DMX, after his home in Cave Creek, AZ was raided on Friday and found with a dozen dogs that were not being properly cared for, the nation’s premier environmental resource Earth 911 would like to encourage any disposal of DMX CDs and memorabilia to be handled with the environment in mind.
The DMX case comes on the heels of the Michael Vick guilty plea today stemming from his involvement in an illegal dog fighting competition. Vick has already seen several of his national sponsorships pulled, leading to thousands of football jerseys and tennis shoes being removed from the shelves.
Both Earth 911 and its sister site Pets 911 are promoting an environmentally-friendly reaction to these incidents. If you feel the need to dispose of DMX-related material, either recycle it or donate to a second-hand store, both of which can be found at the Earth 911 Web site (http://earth911.org). At Earth911.org, visitors can search for locations in their area for recycling or donating for reuse compact discs, posters or other DMX merchandise that doesn’t belong in a landfill.
Both Earth 911 and Pets 911 are cause media channels of the parent company Global Alerts, based in Scottsdale. Earth 911 provides actionable content on recycling in addition to the only national recycling facility locator database. Pets 911 is the national pet lost and found database and also provides content on the safe treatment of animals.
