Greetings New Yorkers! Please come celebrate Earth Month with the Terracycle Green Up Shop, a design and boutique shopping experience springing up for a limited time only, opening March 27, 2010. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, it features some of New York’s finest green design and fashion. The shop will showcase a wide range of green products and services and host exciting weekly events like eco-friendly film screenings, lectures, and DIY events. Which brings us to Generation T! Come join us (and Etsy and Green Up vendors RePlayGround and Garbage of Eden, and, and…I’m just giddy thinking about it) for a free-to-the-public DIY Scraptacular on April 8! Come support the green movement and make stuff out of scraps (and in the case of Generation T, scrap T-shirts!). Oh, and as if you needed anything more, beverages provided by Brooklyn Brewery and Snow.

At the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City, a pop up shop has taken over the space at 8th Avenue and 41st Street. This once empty retail space is now home to TerraCycle‘s Green Up Shop. This innovative store will feature TerraCycle’s full line of over 100 products literally made from common waste materials such as chip bags, food wrappers, yogurt cups, glue bottles and writing instruments. In addition to selling its affordable, fun products made from waste, TerraCycle will use the space to collect over 30 different non-recyclable items, turning the store into the world’s largest upcycling center. Consumers who drop off waste will be given a discount on the products they purchase at the Shop.
