We’re living in extreme times with increasing heat, wildfires, & floods.
Ben Zaitchik, professor in the Earth and planetary sciences department at Johns Hopkins University, says of the extreme events, “All of this is entirely consistent with what greenhouse gas warming does and is in line with the trends we expect. Still, there’s something that feels surprising — emotionally surprising — when you see these happening with increasing frequency and severity.”
We suggest staying smart: drink lots of water. Don’t make fires while camping — or if you do, be sure they are 100 percent out before you leave the site. Be prepared with a Chill Hero Heat Illness Prevention Kit with the tools to keep you cool and hydrated.
At Spill Hero, we’re doing what we can to keep businesses healthy and safe, this summer and for the past 31 years. If you’re going to be on the road, for instance, be prepared for any of your vehicle’s fluids to overflow if it overheats. Carry one of our Spill Containment Berms tucked behind your truck seat or in the cab. Think of it as your vehicle’s “raft,” ready to keep you afloat by catching unexpected leaks and spills.
Or maybe you just need to plug the dike, if that’s where the leak originates. Our Universal Vehicle Spill Kit with Plug n’ Dike Pattie is a long name for a compact spill containment solution designed to fit in vehicles for emergency fuel and hazardous spill cleanup. Each kit absorbs up to eight gallons, and the 10-ounce jar of Plug N’ Dike immediately seals off gasoline, diesel, solvents, and other chemicals, even on dirty or crumpled surfaces. No preparation necessary.
We wish we could solve the climate crisis and keep everyone safe and healthy at all times. However, if we each take positive action, this will eventually become a reality. In the meantime, with the planet’s weather going to extremes, do what you can to keep spill containment and spill cleanup efficient, effective, and non-toxic, with Spill Hero’s 500+ spill solutions for every imaginable spill situation.
