ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Environnement à Ceccaldi

Dans le cadre de la protection de l'environnement, l'école maternelle Ceccaldi a mis en place depuis un an un programme de recyclage de déchets. Il s'agit de déchets non pris en charge par le tri sélectif et, en échange, la société « terracycle » concernée reverse des fonds à la coopérative de l'école, ce qui permet en outre d'introduire les notions de protection de l'environnement et de gestes éco-responsables.

Book Review: Outsmart Waste by Tom Szaky

Tom Szaky’s life is rubbish. I mean that in the most positive way – the guy loves the stuff, and he’s making the very best of it, for himself, his business and the rest of us. In his book, Outsmart Waste: The Modern Idea of Garbage and How to Think Our Way Out of It, Szaky lithely divides out the elements of trash and recycles them into useful advice on how we can clean up the planet.

It was at my lowest point that I attended a lecture given by Tom Szaky, the founder of an environmental startup called TerraCycle — and gained a new perspective on how to change the world.  He too started out as a Princeton student interested in helping the environment. Tom dropped out of school to found his own company in 2001, with the vision that he could one day “eliminate the idea of waste.” Within a few years, his passion and drive transformed his dream into substantial action.
