Each year, millions of safety cones made from plastic and rubber end up in oceans and land fills around the world, leaching poisonous toxins into our water tables and food chain. To make matters worse, the Earth's precious rainforests are being cut down at an alarming rate to make way for new rubber plantations. If this trend continues, irreversible damage to our eco-systems is inevitable. We may never completely rid the earth of plastic and rubber, but we can make a big difference by switching to Sign Cone™ cardboard safety cones whenever we can.
