Mission Possible: But that's definitely not possible ... is it?

“Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign

After transforming more than 1,500 pounds of recycled personal care waste into a one-of-a-kind Garnier Green Garden in Harlem and overhauling a garden at a special needs school in the Bronx, Garnier and TerraCycle took their eco efforts on the road with the “Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign to reward one recipient with a new community garden. After a public voting period, The ReFresh Project of New Orleans has been named the winner.   - See more at: http://www.happi.com/issues/2014-09-01/view_breaking-news/where-should-our-garden-grow-campaign#sthash.DAmBc8zW.dpuf

VES Student Coordinates Recyclable Brigade for TerraCycle

Many of us wonder if there is more we can do to help the environment. But Owen Zacherau, a fourth grader at Village Elementary School (VES), put his concern into action by running a GoGo Squeez Brigade throughout last school year. He collected over 1000 of the snack pouches and sent them to TerraCycle to be recycled into other products. And with the credits he earned, he donated to charities which help the environment and other schoolchildren. TerraCycle was started by Tom Szaky in 2002 while he was a freshman at Princeton University. The company's first office was at 20 Nassau Street. Two years later, it relocated to Trenton to be closer to Bordentown, where Rutgers University's EcoComplex conducts research on "green" business development and alternative energy innovation.

Collection Corner: Butt Out

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world, and the city of New Orleans has taken action to collect the incessant waste. The international recycling and upcycling company TerraCycle, Trenton, New Jersey, launched its first citywide cigarette butt recycling receptacles program in British Columbia, making New Orleans the first U.S. city to participate in a large-scale recycling effort, according to TerraCycle.

Weekend TV Watch

Forget “Outlander.” “Portrait of Jennie” (tonight at 8 on TCM) finds a struggling artist (Joseph Cotten) smitten with a mysterious girl (Jennifer Jones) who seems to be from another time in this 1948 classic partially filmed in Boston. This sounds sticky and gross: The gang at Terracycle tries to recycle gum on “Human Resources” (tonight at 10 on Pivot).

Good News:

Holy Family Catholic School students have turned breakfast into cash for their school. They are among the top collectors of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Brigade, a national recycling program. Schools earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle, which recycles the traditionally non-recyclable waste into new materials, a news release said. To date, the students have diverted 1,197 units of cereal bag waste from landfills. The points are redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the nonprofit or school of their choice.
