April 22 might be the single most important day of the year environmentally, as the people of planet Earth come together to celebrate Earth Day.  

It is our unified,collective time to reflect and commit ourselves and our communities to protecting our planet. Think of it as a shared experience, as the day calls on individuals, communities, and businesses to step forward and takemeaningful action against pollution, waste, and climate change. And we are happy to say that Thermostat Recycling Corp. steps up to the plate every day.

The Power of Earth Day

Awareness of environmental issues took a major step forward in 1970 with the creation of the first Earth Day. The demands were clear: cleaner air, cleaner water and a more holistic relationship with the Earth.The movement gave birth tothe Environmental Protection Agency and laws that continue to protect us today.

Now, 56 years later, Earth Day reigns supreme as the largest civic engagement in the world, focused on protecting our planet. An estimated 1 billion people in 193 countries support Earth Day’s mission,a resounding example of what we can accomplish when we collectively work toward a common goal.

TRC: A Mission Built for Earth Day

At TRC, we are proud to sayour goals align with Earth Day’s mission. With our focus on mercury-containing thermostats, we have created one of the most successful stewardship programs in the country. Our efforts, supported by an army of HVAC contractors and wholesalers, have prevented more than 3 million aged thermostatsfrom entering the environmental stream. Since our founding, we have maintained a supportive network of partners nationwide who join in our mission, daily.

TRC serves as dramaticreminder that a well-organized recycling program can make a real difference both in your community and throughout the world. It is also a reminder that while Earth Day involvesa global effort, it is the personal participation, you and I, that makes the difference, whether it is recycling a mercury-containing thermostat or a product or item that hurts the environment.
