Thousands of butts picked

That's a lot of butts. In one day, Butt Blitz 2017 collected more than 7,600 cigarette butts in Vernon's downtown core. That is more than 15 pounds of cigarette butts. Twenty three people gave up a sunny Saturday to rid the downtown core of the disgusting cigarette remnants. This was the first year Vernon has participated in the Canada-wide blitz that has collected tens of thousands of cigarette butts over the years. Organizers said the event not only cleaned up the community, but raised awareness about the toxic impact of cigarette butts and how they pollute the environment, contaminate water and soil and poison wildlife. All the butts will be sent to Terracycle for recycling and redeemed for Terracycle points. Terracycle is a Canadian company that collects hard-to-recycle items and turns them into 'green' products. Through TerraCycle’s free recycling programs, participants can earn TerraCycle points which are redeemable for charitable gifts, TerraCycle products, or a donation to a school or non-profit of your choice. “The more butts we collect the more money we earn for charity,” said Elliman. Last year, the Canada-Wide total was 122,800 butts collected. This year's goal is 200,000. Pocket ashtrays will be available for purchase by donation at the event which is being organized by A Greener Future in partnership with BrainGarden.ca.

St. Anthony's competing in recycling contest for new picnic table

St. Anthony’s School is competing to win a picnic table made from recycled GoGo squeeZ pouches through the inaugural “Ready, Set, GoGo” collection contest, courtesy of GoGo squeeZ, the applesauce snack brand, and recycling company TerraCycle. St. Anthony’s School is hoping to collect the most snack pouch waste, including the flexible pouches and plastic caps, before May 31. Schools earn one point for each GoGo squeeZ pouch sent to TerraCycle for recycling and one point per each vote received on the contest page during the contest period. The grand prize picnic table will be made from recycled waste collected through the GoGo squeeZ Snack Pouch Recycling Program, a free, national program operated by GoGo squeeZ and TerraCycle. “Each classroom at our school has a designated TerraCycle bin where students put all items accepted by TerraCycle” said Amanda Saxton, teacher at St. Anthony’s School. “Green Team members empty the bins periodically into a larger bin and then waste is sorted monthly and shipped.” The GoGo squeeZ Snack Pouch Recycling Program recently hit a nationwide milestone of over 315,000 units collected and nearly $7,000 dollars raised for charity. “We would love to win this contest because our school has been involved in Terracycle for a number of years,” Saxton continues. “It would be very rewarding for students to see firsthand an example of a product that can be created from the items we've been collecting for years.” The program is an ongoing activity, open to any individual, family, school or community group. For each piece of waste sent in using a pre-paid shipping label, participants earn points that can be translated into charitable prizes or cash donations to the school or charity of their choice.

Mississauga Students Competing in National Contest

A Mississauga school is recycling to win a garden and cash for charity, and students need your help. St. Jude’s Academy, a private school for junior kindergarten to Grade 12, is in the Meadowvale area on Torquay Mews. The school is on the national leaderboard to win the top prize of a garden made from 100 per cent recycled material through the third-annual Febreze Frenzy recycling contest. This year's contest is the biggest in TerraCycle Canada’s history, with $8,650 of charity donations being shared among the top ten winners. Participants must send in as many units of air and home care waste, such as trigger heads from spray bottles, as possible before May 31. Two points are awarded for each item sent to TerraCycle. The contest is part of TerraCycle and Febreze's air and home care recycling program. The free, national initiative allows for any brand of air-freshener cartridge or home-cleaning packaging to be recycled. Anyone in Canada can sign up to take part.

East Amwell Township School has diverted 764,000 pieces of waste through TerraCycle so far.  Ms. Ernst continued, “TerraCycle and the participating recycling programs for the collections have helped us to afford compost bins, native plants for butterflies and birds, gardening tools for the students, bleachers, a green house, etc. We could really use any votes that the community can give to us. We would love to win, to show that collecting makes a difference in the community.” The Colgate Oral Care Recycling Program is an ongoing activity, open to any individual, family, school or community group.  For each piece of waste sent in using a pre-paid shipping label, participants earn money toward donations to the school or charity of their choice.  To learn more about the program, please visit www.terracycle.com/colgate.

新しい発想で”アップサイクル”してみませんか?

そのようななか、注目を集めているのがリユースやリサイクルとも違う“アップサイル”という方法です。アップサイクルとは英語ではアップサイクリング(Upcycling)。リユー(Reuse)はそのままの形で再使用すること、リサイクル(Recycle)は素材を原料化して再利用することですが、アップサイクルは廃材や使わなくなったものの素材はそのままに、新しい発想やデザインの力を借りることで、より価値の高い製品に生まれ変わらせることです。 こうしたアップサイクルの動きは、トラックの幌布で作ったバッグで知られるスイスの「フライターグ」やお菓子のプラスチック製パッケージで作った傘やリュックを販売するアメリカの「テラサイクル」に代表される欧米の企業によってリードされ、いまでは世界的なファッションブランドが再生繊維だけを使った服や、洋服を作ったときに残る生地をアップサイクルして開発したコレクションを発表するなど、世界中に広がっています。
