Here are some etiquette and serving tips we’ve gleaned about enjoying wines from The Naked Grape wine makers:

This school year, Glenwood Middle School started a new club for students, HOPE. HOPE (Helping Our Planet Earth) club focuses on helping make the Earth a better place to live.

We’ve all been there. We want to have a fun filled 4th of July, allowing the kids to play and the adults a chance to sit around, chat and catch up. I’ve spent plenty of time over the years fixing plates for the kids, fixing drinks for the kids, fixing more drinks for the kids, and settling arguments.  Here’s some tips I’ve learned to allow everyone to enjoy themselves.

Anna Minns and the small local team that form TerraCycle are pulling off a ‘David & Goliath’ type feat in tackling the waste associated with major brands operating in Australia, writes Paula Wallace. It’s simple; it’s ingenious; and it seems to be working. Anna Minns told WME about how the start-up was collecting and storing massive amounts of waste in a Victorian warehouse that would have gone into landfills or otherwise entered the environment.

Recycling company Terra Cycle, in Sydney's Surry Hills, is an office full of rubbish. Literally. The organisation's mission is to "eliminate the idea of waste" so they decided to lead by example. Lamps are made of Colgate toothpaste tubes or water bottles, clocks are made from coffee capsules and tin cans, mug holders are made from old windows and cushions are upcycled from old Qantas uniform print fabric.

Locals can now help to save used oral care items from ending up in landfill whilst also helping to raise funds for Midhirst School. Students in the Paritutu class at the school are in charge of running the Colgate Community Recycle Drive at the school, aimed at promoting the recycling of previously unrecyclable oral care items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, dental floss containers and packaging. The drive, supported by international upcycling and recycling comapny TerraCycle, was launched at the school last week.

De ansatte ved Coop Extra Gruben samler i år, som i fjor, inn kaffekapsler til gjenvinning. Inntektene går til Kattehuset.
