It’s that time of again, the time to refresh our minds and bodies and promise to make significant, positive changes to our lives going into the New Year. Instead of vowing to floss more or drink less caffeine, walk down a greener path this year with some of these unique ways you can make 2016 the year you commit yourself to the planet.

Introducing TerraCycle, a New Jersey based company founded in 2001 by a Princeton University freshman selling organic fertilizer in reused soda bottles.

Hackensack University Medical Center is the first hospital in the country to partner with recycling pioneer TerraCycle to keep difficult-to-recycle items such as keyboards and mice, diaper packaging, chip bags and writing utensils out of landfills. TerraCycle will recycle the items into affordable, eco-friendly consumer products and industrial applications.
