Wednesday, June 5, 2024
Have you heard of World Environment Day? This international holiday takes place on June 5, 2024, and is focused on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience.
At Stardust, we take the health of our environment seriously. We are passionate about reuse and diverting usable materials from our landfills. This work helps reduce our carbon footprint, improve the health of our environment and reduce the negative effects caused by extreme heat.
Through the week of June 5 – June 12, 2024, donate a case of water to either Stardust Reuse Center, and receive a Stardust reusable tote bag! The water will be distributed to nonprofit partners such as St. Vincent de Paul and UMOM working at the front lines of heat relief efforts.
Thank you for donating, shopping, and supporting reuse efforts in our community!
Why should you donate water?
While Stardust is always happy to accept donations of building materials and supplies, we are including water for the week of World Environment Day in an effort to help tackle the vicious problem of heat relief in our city.
The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) has a specialized program called the Heat Relief Network, “a network of partners providing hydration stations, refuge locations, and water donation sites throughout the Valley with the goal of preventing heat-related illnesses and deaths among vulnerable populations.” (Want to view the map?)
Every summer, nearly 2,000 people visit the emergency room for heat-related illnesses. This year, your donation can help make a difference!
