Wrapping paper, although pretty, is the biggest source of garbage at Christmas time. Choose gift wrap alternatives to have a waste free holiday. Newspaper, old maps, towels or a scarf. The wrap can be the gift. Be creative. Reduce your waste this Christmas! #wastereduction #reuse #recycle

As I was walking around my neighborhood, I couldn't help but notice the amount of litter scattered on the sidewalks and streets. It broke my heart to see such a beautiful area being tainted by irresponsible individuals. And that's when I had a thought - what if we, who care about our environment, started picking up one piece of trash at a time and properly disposing of it or reusing it? Imagine the impact we could have if each person took just a few minutes out of their day to make a small difference. By simply picking up a piece of litter and either throwing it away or finding a way to reuse it, we could drastically reduce the amount of waste in our communities. But it doesn't stop there. What if we took it a step further and shared this idea with others? What if we inspired our friends, family, and colleagues to join us in our mission to clean up our surroundings? Imagine the ripple effect we could create - one person tells another, who tells another, and so on. #Recycle #Michigan #Trash #RippleEffect

Great tips about what to do with your Christmas tree!

Ready for an inside scoop on how TerraCycle recycles hard-to-recycle trash? When our TerraCyclers recycle with TerraCycle, their trash will always end up at one of our TerraCycle material recovery facilities (MRFs). Then, the magic happens… Once the trash is checked in, it’s sorted and cleaned before it is recycled into raw materials. Those raw materials are then used to make new items like benches, watering cans, shipping pallets, and more—giving hard-to-recycle trash a whole new life!

This post indicates a quite reasonable solution, from sustainability to commercial & sales value. It also embeds a business suggestion for small entrepreneurs to start with little amount of money, a furniture company with a local + regional consumer market already in place. It's a great idea.....
