With Cyber Monday being the busiest shopping day of the year for online retail sales, Stone Oak Ortho would like to offer a friendly environmental plea to go green with your green! Americans have a choice, today, to not only spend thriftily, but to spend intelligently. We, as a collective society, have the opportunity to make a difference in our world through spending smart by spending clean. Dr. Norris believes in this principle and incorporates it into his clean energy office. He has a commitment to reduce the carbon and ecological footprint produced at his high-tech orthodontic practice in San Antonio, Texas. We have blogged about his solar panels, and wind energy before. We have shared with our readers the simple procedure in the office that work to reduce our wastes and consumption levels. And we would like to encourage all our readers to do the same, even on Cyber Monday!
For example, this environmentally friendly floor mat that graces the entry way of our office, is made up of recycled plastic bottles. We LOVE this mat! We love the message on this mat: a friendly reminder to all of our wonderful patients and families that going green is completely doable! If you’ve been thinking of buying a new outdoor mat to stomp your feet around on this wintery season, or as a present to that certain someone in your family who has everything under the sun, check out Mad Mats, available at Amazon.com. They are made out of 100% recycled plastic and the are absolutely beautiful! (Ours is customized, obviously, but the Mad Mats products are artfully designed floor mats that will bless any home with color, art, and clean living!)
