Green Tip of the Week: Turning trash into treasure...

FACT: Alright, so we can't recycle and compost everything. There are things (chip bags, etc.) that just simply fall into the "trash" category. Or does it??
Terracycle.net has a new destination for those damned morsels of pollution, by literally turning your trash into treasures. Think backpacks, bowls, pencil cases, holiday bows...all made from scraps. Genius right?

How it works:
check out... Terracycle.net
...to see what items they will accept. Then mail your items over (postage paid! awesome!), they will donate 2 cents for each item to a charity of your choice AND THEN turn those bad boys into one-of-a-kind products sold on...

Pretty dang smart.


"Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight."
-Benjamin Franklin
