Little Falls Highlights April 22 as Earth Day For Environmental Awareness

Damiano highlighted April 22 as Earth Day at the recent Township Council Workshop Agenda meeting, with a message that every day needs to be Earth Day in order to help protect the environment.

“Earth Day is one day that we look to clean and keep clean our Earth,” said Damiano. “Just because April 22 is designated as Earth Day doesn’t mean that every day is not a good day to make sure to pick up litter and keep the Earth clean.”

During his proclamation, Damiano stated that Earth Day originated in the U.S. in 1970 to increase awareness of environmental problems and was renamed by the United Nations as “International Mother Earth Day.” He added that scientists estimate dozens of plants and animals will go extinct each day due to human activity.

“Humans generate 4.5 pounds of trash per day, and according to Recycle Now, nearly 80 percent of all plastic waste ever created by humans is still in the environment today,” he added.

Damiano also emphasized that there are many small things everyone can do each day to help curb pollution and lessen the impact to the environment, which will make a huge difference to the planet. He stressed the importance of recycling, carpooling, using fuel-efficient cars, and to stop littering.

“Every year on April 22, Earth Day demonstrates environmental support and how we can protect our planet from further harm,” he noted.

Very friendly staff! Dr J was referred to me by a coworker and I was just as pleased with his bedside manner and professionalism. He explained all my options and I didn’t feel pushed to make a quick decision.

First of all, booking an appointment was so easy! I submitted a request online and got a phone call not even 10 minutes later from Ebony to confirm an appointment. Dr. Joshi, the ladies at the front desk, the x-ray technician and all of the staff I encountered were very busy yet remained friendly. They are also very professional and clean. I am so satisfied with my visit that I am trying to get my family to book an appointment there.
