En rolig sak med Ellas kitchen är att företaget förespråkar att man skickar tillbaka de tomma förpackningarna till dem (kostnadsfritt) så att nya saker kan tillverkas av dem. För varje tillbakaskickad förpackning så skänker dessutom Ellas Kitchen pengar till välgörenhet. Den här infon borde verkligen stå på förpackningarna, för det här är något som jag inte tror många vet om. Toppen med ett miljötänk som inte bara handlar om innehållet.

As new electronics are introduced all the time, the piles of e-waste grow and grow. According to the EPA, the United States on the whole throws out over 2 million tons of e-waste a year, which equals nearly 216 million units. While the 'per-person' impact seems minimal (who throws out multiple keyboards or cell phones a year?) the total numbers speak for themselves. Plus, there must more e-waste than we think. After all, who doesn't have an old monitor or monolithic desk tower in their basement or closet? TerraCycle recently launched a Keyboard and Mice Brigade® with Logitech, which I'm pretty excited about because it opens up a whole new industry for TerraCycle and a new option for e-waste recycling. As something of a tech geek myself, I haven't failed to notice the limited recycling options myself and even what's out there is poorly utilized!

Customers of floral departments in Raley's Supermarkets — Raley's, Bel Air and Nob Hill stores — have an eco-friendly option when they purchase flowers this fall in the businesses' partnership with Clearwater Nursery and TerraCycle. Annuals, shipped to the stores in late August, are in upcycled margarine tubs instead of traditional black plastic pots. Upcycling is reusing a product as something of equal or greater value than its original intent. The margarine tubs, collected through TerraCycle's Brigade program, can be sent back by consumers to be upcycled again at no charge. For more info, visit www.terracycle.net.
