Healthy habits can have an immense impact beyond your own personal wellness. Small daily changes to your routine can benefit you and have a positive impact on the environment. Drinking enough water daily and flossing your teeth may come second nature to most people, but there are some who can struggle to incorporate these habits into their daily lives. Not because they don’t care – they just may not know where to begin. That’s where we hope to help!
We’ve partnered with Healthy Human to create a co-branded drink tumbler. By offering our patients this reusable beverage container we hope to minimize the need for takeaway coffee cups or single-use, plastic bottles. A small daily habit change with a meaningful impact.
Choosing reusable drinkware can make a big impact on the environment
Opting for a reusable cup may not seem like a huge change, but it can significantly impact the amount of plastic that goes into our oceans and waterways. Around the globe over 300 million tons of plastic is produced each year. While only a small percentage of that plastic becomes ocean plastic (3%), the impact on shorelines around the world is huge. This is because 79% of plastic that enters waterways resurfaces on shorelines, making them especially vulnerable to plastic pollution.
“We know plastic is great for moving teeth, but it is also terrible for the environment,” said Dr. Bill Crutchfield, Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Clear Blue Smiles.
The small act of using refillable cups prevents at least a few containers from becoming waste. Perhaps more importantly, it shows others that healthy habits for the planet matter to you. And who knows, you might inspire them to also make changes!
Clear Blue Smiles will send out the co-branded tumblers in new patient gift packs that will also include eco-friendly floss and bamboo toothbrushes. A few more tools that can aid our patients in making more eco-conscious decisions in their daily lives. Additionally, by reusing the compostable packaging of the co-branded tumblers, we will cut down on unnecessary packaging. Just a few ways we can assist our patients in having healthy habits that have a positive impact on the environment
