Excellence. Not an act but a habit.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit."     ~ Aristotle~

I truly believe excellence is not an act, but a habit. So how can we make sustainable choices habit forming? Let's start with the obvious and perhaps easiest action toward bringing sustainability into your life. Recycling! Now, before you dismiss this topic give me just a minute of your time to share a few simple suggestions.

1. Call your city's recycling department. By making one simple phone call you can determine if your city has a recycling program and if your business qualifies for this service. I was very fortunate to discover that our municipality offers curb side recycling. One simple phone call opened the door to this sustainable action. Recycling bins were delivered. Indoor containers were placed to collect box board, plastics and other recyclable items. We organized ourselves. We were off and running!

2. No city recycling? Contact a non-profit Recycling Center. If your municipality does not offer a recycling program don't give up hope. You may have success with a non- profit recycling center. Don't hesitate to call and connect with their services. Some centers even offer, for a minimal fee, pick up services if you need them.

The habit of recycling can lead to excellence. We live in a time that sustainable actions are desperately needed as well as respected. Be the dental office in your city to lead this effort!

See you next week with more sustainable ideas.
