CLINTON – The Hunterdon Art Museum is working to conserve the environment by recycling foil-lined wrappers in TerraCycle’s Energy Bar Wrapper Brigade, sponsored by Larabar energy bars. Despite being new to the program, the museum is one of the top collectors of 2015, having recycled more than 4,800 wrappers since signing up earlier this year. “I personally try to live a low waste lifestyle at home and was very happy to bring that effort to my work place,” said Jennifer Brazel, director of education at Hunterdon Art Museum. “As an art school, we generate a lot of waste. Our staff eats a lot of Larabars and other foil-lined on-the-go bars due to our busy schedules and our summer camp students bringing snacks daily. “I really appreciate that TerraCycle makes the entire recycling process easy, plus the points program makes recycling a very appealing as a fundraiser for our nonprofit organization.” Through the recycling Brigade programs from TerraCycle, collectors can earn points that can be redeemed as a donation to a nonprofit organization of their choice. The Hunterdon Art Museum has chosen to fund their education programs as well as donate to Charity:Water, an organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. “Everyone can recycle,” Brazel said. “It’s the most simple, efficient and cost effective way each person can reduce waste and play a role in increasing sustainability. Recycling cuts material costs, making recycled items less expensive than virgin material items. Plus, who wouldn’t want a cleaner environment? Recycling is a no-brainer.” Any school, organization or individual looking to reduce waste can find more information on TerraCycle and the Energy Bar Wrapper Brigade sponsored by Larabar at www.TerraCycle.com.”
