Que precisamos cuidar do Planeta e que o futuro do nosso meio ambiente depende de nós, seres humanos, não é novidade. Mas o que parece é que pouco temos feito para preservar a nossa Terra e todos seus bens mais preciosos.

Last month, PotatoPro reported on a consumer protest in the United Kingdom to convince snack manufacturer Walkers, a brand of Pepsico to come up with a better packaging for its potato chips. The protest included an online petition that was signed by over 300.000 people and a call to mail empty crisp packages back Walkers. In a response, Walkers now has announced that it will launch a nationwide recycling scheme for crisp packets in the United Kingdom. People will be encouraged to either drop off their packets at one of the hundreds of public access collection points that will be developed all around the country or alternatively post them for free directly to TerraCycle for recycling.

Thanks to Entenmann’s® Little Bites® for sponsoring this GIVEAWAY and post about Simple Pumpkin Party Favors for Fall or Halloween. Fall time screams out pumpkin spice and all things baked up nice. Now you can get your kids in the mood for all things pumpkin too with the delicious seasonal favorite – Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Pumpkin Muffins! Throw them in a lunch box or better yet make these super simple Halloween or Pumpkin Party favors. I love party favors that are edible and delicious. Plus they can use the cup for other things as well.

Na hora do descarte de lentes de contato, não pode haver miopia. Olho vivo ao jogar fora esses pequenos aliados da visão que substituem os óculos: o destino final deles não pode ser o lixo reciclável comum tampouco a pia ou o vaso sanitário, para que não acabem parando em rios e oceanos e contaminem o ambiente.

Walkers described its partnership with TerraCycle as "the UK s first nationwide recycling scheme for crisp packets". Any brand of crisp packets - not just Walkers - will be accepted. The scheme is due to start in December.

AN ARMY of 60 volunteers took part in a big beach clean and found hundreds of cigarette butts - and even some earrings. Volunteers came to Brighton beach yesterday and bagged 8kg of rubbish. They picked up pieces of plastic waste such as bottle caps, old nails, broken glasses, a wooden plank with nails and corks.
