10 Ways Your Business Can Celebrate Earth Day

04/09/2019 by DeniseB

Go Green this Earth Day Delaware!

Most Americans realize that our environment needs protecting, now more than ever. Earth Day is a perfect opportunity to raise environmental awareness and support initiatives for reducing, reusing and recycling the world’s limited assets. Cities around the world have extended Earth Day celebrations to last a week or more to increase community awareness of green initiatives.

Businesses that make an effort towards environmental stewardship often enjoy a positive brand image. Companies such a Patagonia whose mission statement is ‘We’re in business to save our home planet’ have used their platform to raise advocacy for environmental issues.

Earth Day Network works year round to solve climate change, to end plastic pollution, to protect endangered species, and to broaden, educate, and activate the environmental movement across the globe.

Earth Day will be celebrated on Monday, April 22, 2019 by millions of people around the world. This will mark the 49th year for this celebration and this year’s theme is ‘Save Species’. Since the conception of Earth Day in 1970, there’s been a loss of over 40% of the world’s wild animal population. Climate change threatens 75% of the world’s coral reefs, while the bee and other pollinating insects continue to be decimated by use of insecticides.

Those of us at Waste Masters Solutions thought it might be helpful to share a few ideas with our commercial customers on how to celebrate Earth Day and protect our environment for future generations to come.

10 Ways Your Business Can Celebrate Earth Day:

1) Teleconference instead of traveling. If you fly five times per year, those trips are likely to account for 75% of your personal carbon footprint

2) Reduce and recycle paper in the office, plus purchase 100% post-consumer recycled paper

3) Encourage employees to pack their lunch in a reusable bag

4) Conserve water outdoors by only watering landscaping in the early morning or late at night. Use drought-resistant plants in dry areas.

5) Form a “green team” at your office to find cost-effective ways to conserve resources and promote sustainability.

6) Advise employees to turn off and unplug electronics and lights when not in use. This includes turning off your computer before leaving for the night.

7) Coordinate and/or encourage employees to carpool to work

8)  Create a ‘Ride Your Bike’ to work club that encourages employees to reduce carbon emissions

9) Make incentive programs that educate employees about using public transportation or driving an electric or hybrid car.

Your carbon footprint is reduced by one pound for every mile you do not drive.

10) Replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with efficient CFLs or LEDs – Reduce your carbon footprint by 450 pounds a year

MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUPS SERIES RACE WEEKEND COMING SOON!

09/18/2018 by DeniseB

NASCAR at the Monster Mile is returning to Dover International Speedway for a triple-header weekend long of racing and race related activities the first weekend in October – October 5 to 7, 2018.  NASCAR racing is one of America’s favorite spectator sports and this weekend promises to be an event to remember!

Last Years Recap:

Waste Master Solutions Had a Blast at the Monster Mile NASCAR Weekend!

Last October, Kyle Busch won the race after a late pass of Chase Elliott who ended up finishing in second place. Which driver will make his mark on the Monster Mile this year?

While the main attraction for fans is the opportunity to watch the top drivers of the world battle on the ‘Monster Mile’ course, there are plenty of other  family-fun things to do at the FanZone located just outside of Turn 4 of the track. The FanZone offers a number of activities all weekend long, featuring games, free sampling, live music and more.

This event is expected to create a large amount trash, but thanks to a partnership between the racetrack and Waste Master Solutions, a good portion of the refuse will be recycled. Color coded recycling bins are placed in prevalent locations around the speedway. This has made it more convenient and accessible for race fans and patrons to recycle.

Dover Speedway and Dover Downs Hotel and Casino’s central focus is on reducing its carbon footprint.

“We are proud to bring on Waste Master Solutions to manage our like-minded goal of protecting and preserving the environment by reducing our environmental impact and keeping otherwise recyclable material out of landfills,” said Ed Sutor, president and CEO of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. – News Release

Waste Masters teams up with Dover Speedway and Dover Downs to do what they do best–help larger companies and organizations manage and reduce their solid waste production through innovative environmental services such as recycling, commercial and industrial waste solutions, concrete washout and porta pottys.

By reducing solid waste, Masterson says Dover International Speedway will not only increase recycling opportunities, but also provide an even more enjoyable experience for staff and visitors.

“We hope that we help them meet the goals of the people that come in and out of the casinos and the racetracks and other events there, by just having better brand awareness,” says Masterson.–WDEL

Philadelphia Eagles and Waste Master Solutions Extend Their Waste Solution Partnership

08/14/2018 by DeniseB

The Multi-Year Philadelphia Eagles Waste Masters Solutions partnership signed back in June of 2016 seems like yesterday.  We have been busy the last few years helping the Eagles organization divert more than ninety-nine percent of its waste from landfills.

Waste Masters Solutions is excited to announce the extension of our partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles for an additional three years.  We look forward to continuing as the ‘waste solution partner’ at Lincoln Financial Field and the Eagle’s practice facility, the NovaCare Complex  in South Philadelphia through 2021.

The Philadelphia Eagles, LEED Certified since 2013, are serious about going green.  Waste Master Solutions is serious about helping them.

There are 11,108 solar panels and 14 wind turbines on the Philadelphia Eagles sports complex that creates 4 Megawatts of renewable energy each year. With one hundred percent of the team’s operations powered by sun and wind energy, the Philadelphia Eagles place a strong emphasis on reducing their environmental footprint.

The Eagles organization became the first professional sports team to receive the ISO2021 certification this past June. Waste Master Solutions teamed up with the Philadelphia Eagles to install a food waste digester in September 2016. The digester has safely discharged 7.4 tons of pre-consumer food waste to a standard sewer line since the bio-digester was installed.  This is a cost-effective and responsible solution for disposal of food waste.

Waste Masters – Proud Partner of the Philadelphia Eagles

“The Eagles and Waste Masters enjoy an amazing relationship where actions speak louder than words,” said Brian Simmons, co-founder and chief operating officer of Waste Masters.

Other eco-friendly efforts currently in place are recycling, composting, energy and water conservation, reforestation and sustainability partners. Over 99% of waste is diverted from landfills.
