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.
