According to the March 2011 issue of Spirit magazine, each of us generates an astonishing average of 5 pounds of waste per day. Â That’s 2 pounds more than in 1960, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Fortunately, more than 3 out of four Americans recycle, and most of us use eco-friendly products like LED light bulbs to reduce energy use at home, according to a 2010 Gallup poll. Â Nearly 75% of office paper is recycled.
The Hills Dental Spa is doing our part. Â By utilizing digital dental technology, we are generating 60% less paper than a traditional office using paper patient charting. Â Even our digital x-rays are better for the environment because they don’t use the chemicals that end up in our landfills. Â Technology not only makes appointment more efficient for each patient, but it helps our environment.
