Happy Earth Day!

EarthDay2022partners

“Meeting the needs of today without depleting the resources of tomorrow.”

April 22nd is Earth Day! It is a time to unify everyone to celebrate our planet and to demonstrate support for environmental protection. This year’s theme is to “Invest in our planet,” to help combat climate change as global warming and its effects continue to harm the environment.

This year is also the launch of the first Accessible Earth Campaign through the collaborative efforts of Ability Tools, the Disability Organizing (DO) Network, and the California Foundation for Independent Living Centers (CFILC) to make environmental conservation efforts accessible for all, including those with disabilities.

The Disability community has only recently been more visible in the discussion of sustainability. The California Assistive Technology Reuse Coalition (CATRC) is helping to meet the needs of Californians with disabilities by providing previously-owned equipment at little or no cost. In doing so, CATRC is also helping to reduce harm to the environment by:

  • Preventing additional waste in landfills;
  • And reducing the need for additional manufacturing, which contributes to a carbon footprint.

 



We here at Rolling Start Inc. also have reusable AT like canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. completely FREE! Give us a call to learn how to get these items from our AT department.
