Save 90 glasses of water a Day!

The ECO Dentistry Association (EDA) is an international membership association driven to encourage and promote environmentally friendly practices in Dentistry. With earth day slowly sneaking up on us on April 22, the EDA's goal is to receive 10,000 pledges for it's "save 90 a day!" campaign that encourages all dental patients to turn off the water while they're brushing their teeth, which wastes an estimated 90 glasses of water per day per PERSON. When you add the logistics, in King county alone with a 2011 estimated population of 1, 931,249, we waste a total of 173,812,410 glasses of water per day. Seattleites everywhere should be baffled by their lack of green-minded behavior. "Brushing your teeth twice a day for the recommended two minutes each time can waste can waste up to 90 glasses of water per person, per day," said Ina Pockrass, co-founder of the ECO Dentistry Association. "By pledging to save 90 a day" and encouraging others to do so, we can create a major positive impact on conserving water, one of the earth's precious resources and one without which we couldn't practice modern dentistry." Puget Sound Periodontics would like to encourage all dental patients to participate in this campaign, which is free, requires no special equipment, and minimal effort!
