Unter dem Motto „Erntezeit!“ werden in diesem Herbst möglichst viele alte, kaputte und leergeschriebene Stifte und Korrekturmittel gesammelt und fürs Recycling eingeschickt. Mitmachen bei dem Sammelwettbewerb können alle Schulen, KiTas und Kindergärten, die Interesse daran haben etwas Gutes für sich und die Umwelt zu tun. Das fleißigste Sammelteam, das zwischen dem 1. September und 30. November die meisten Stifte und Korrekturmittel einsendet, gewinnt und wird mit einer Sitzgruppe aus dem Recyclingkunststoff hanit® von der Firma HAHN-Kunststoffe belohnt. Die robuste Bank wird die Gewinner noch lange an ihren Einsatz für die Umwelt erinnern und den engagierten Umweltschützern immer ein ruhiges Plätzchen bieten.

Last year,
we asked TreeHugger readers if green-themed programming could make a comeback on mainstream television. We started the discussion on the heels of the premiere of TerraCycle’s newest show,
Human Resources, a reality show on Pivot based out of our Trenton, New Jersey headquarters. We were eager to make a television show that people would have fun watching, but could still learn something about waste and recycling from the unique TerraCycle perspective.
