Complications are uncommon in young, healthy people but may include pneumonia, bronchitis, ear or sinus infections.

Guardian's Goal of Zero Waste

 Zero Waste Did you know Guardian is poised to be a leader in the zero waste arena, and the efforts of our commercial clients are making a tremendous impact? What are the key benefits of Zero Waste?   Key Benefits: • Saving money. Since waste is a sign of inefficiency, the reduction of waste can reduce costs.  • Supports sustainability. A zero waste strategy supports all three of the generally accepted goals of sustainability - economic well-being, environmental protection, and social well-being. • Improved material flows. A zero waste strategy would use far fewer new raw materials and send no waste materials to landfills. Any material waste would either return as reusable or recycled materials or would be suitable for use as compost. #RequestAQuote
