Each August we turn our focus to the environment by offering
social events and educational opportunities on living a more environmentally
sustainable life. By making caring choices and creating helpful habits we can
all make a difference to our planet.
Did you know that an aluminum can may remain in its current
condition in a landfill for up to 500 years? That same can, when recycled, can
end up back on your grocer’s shelf in as little as two months. Recycling that
aluminum can also saves energy. Enough energy, in fact, to power your
television for three hours! Aluminum can be recycled over, and over and over
again – without limit. Americans will use about 2.5 million plastic bottles
every thirty minutes. If that bottle is not recycled it can spend the next 450
years or more in a landfill. A modern glass bottle will take about 4,000 years
to biodegrade. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again, and again
and again. So, the next time you are enjoying a delicious beverage, be
conscious of the packaging and make the choice to recycle.
Join us this month as we promote the environment with a
focus on our recycling programs – from annual rummage sales to shredding and
more; our educational offerings will help you to support our environment and
Breathe in Life!
Our fabulous August 2016 events in Aurora, CO at Juniper

§
Silent Auction & Anniversary Bash because
the team at Juniper Village at Aurora is no stranger to parties, and as a
matter of fact, we aren’t even scared to throw one for ourselves, so come
celebrate 17 years of leading the Front Range in Dementia Care, but make sure
and bring the checkbook though, as our very own artists here at Juniper have
their best works available for bidding and all proceeds will benefit the
Alzheimer’s Association on August 12th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

§
Music & Memory iPod Drive because here at
Juniper, we believe that music is medicine, and our Seniors are no different in
the fact that they love to listen to music, almost all day– every day, so why
not recycle your old iPods and headphones by donating them to Juniper, and we
will also accept iTunes gift cards as well as monetary donations for our Music
and Memory Program anytime from August 22nd to 26th.
We look forward to sharing our August 2016 events in Aurora,
CO at Juniper Village at Aurora with you as you Breathe in Life.
