Earth Day’s 45 Anniversary - April 22, 2015
According to Earthday.org “The first
Earth Day in 1970 was instrumental in
mobilizing public support in towns
across the country for the passage of the
Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and
other key environmental laws.″
Earth Day is a time for us to be reminded of the importance of environmental
responsibility and stewardship.
What can you do to help the environment?

Recycle—check the list (on page 4) for all
of the items that can be recycled right here
in Londonderry. All you have to do is
bring the listed items to the curb.

Pick up trash in your neighborhood or join
one of the community sponsored clean
ups organized by “Beautify Londonderry” (see page 3).

Create less waste—Reduce your use of
plastic bags and bottles by using reusable
bags and containers.

Change to compact fluorescent light bulbs
(CFL’s) which use a third less energy. If
every U.S. home replaced just one bulb the
collective result would save enough energy to light 2.5 million homes for one year.
(Make sure to dispose of CFL’s safely at
the Drop Off Center or bring to Home Depot).

Lions Club - Recycle for Sight
“Refractive errors can be easily corrected with eyeglasses,
yet millions in developing nations lack access to basic eye
care services.” Used eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired,
classified by prescription then sent to developing countries.
To donate your used glasses just place them in the drop
off box located in the Town Clerk’s Office at the Town
Hall.

Overflow Trash Bags
Do you occasionally have a situation where you need more room in
your trash cart?
Overflow trash bags can be purchased at the Town Clerk’s office at
