Earth Day Comes Once A Year
But Every Day is Earth Day when you use Retreads
 
“Although we celebrate Earth Day every April 22, which is a good reminder to be kind to the planet, if you are truly concerned about helping to conserve natural resources, you should be driving on retreaded tires.”
 
The retread industry worldwide has been GREEN before the word became fashionable.
 
Thanks to retreading, every time a truck tire is retreaded approximately 15 gallons of oil is saved. When we multiply this by the millions of tires retreaded every year we can see that retreading is responsible for saving hundreds of millions of gallons of oil worldwide every year. This is because tires contain synthetic rubber which is petroleum based.
 
Every time a tire is retreaded one less tire has to be. disposed of in a landfill. Although all tires – including retreads – eventually wear out, as long as another tire is retreaded to take its place the tire can be kept out of a landfill indefinitely. Think of a juggler. There is always one ball up in the air and the same applies to the tire that takes the place of the one whose life has come to an end.
 
But how about safety?
The safety of today’s retreads has been proven beyond a doubt by millions of vehicles over billions of miles worldwide. Airlines, both commercial and military, school and municipal buses, small package delivery services such as DHL, FED EX, UPS, the U.S. Postal Service and postal services in many other countries routinely and safely use retreads. Taxis, racecars, Fire Engines and other emergency vehicles also safely use retreads as to trucks and other types of vehicles in both the private and public sectors around the world.
