Now more than ever, it’s important that we reduce our ecological footprint to create a greener world for the future. Scouts Canada has always encouraged members to do their part to create a cleaner environment, whether it be through litter cleanups or leave-no-trace initiatives that encourage people to leave the surrounding environment the way they found it. Recycling is one of the easiest ways to be green, and there are so many things you can recycle!

Recycling comes naturally to me; I do it every day in my small soap making business. But for some, it takes more of an effort. If it’s not something you do all the time, it’s easy to get out of the habit. I want to train my customers to help in the recycling effort, so I’m doing a few things to make it easier for them.

Manufacturers are constantly looking for new, more efficient ways to deliver food to hungry consumers. But unfortunately, technologies that promise to bring you your grub quicker aren't always so easy on the environment.

Every purchase counts, so by putting your dollar toward packaging that's easier on the environment, you're acting as a change-maker and influencing companies and manufacturers to do better.

Local musicians are invited to attend a free recycle and restring event at Hubbard Music in Niles Friday, July 21 at 6 p.m. Sponsored by D’Addario, musicians can bring any old instrument strings for recycling and get their electric or acoustic guitars restrung with D’Addario NYXL or Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings. Old strings collected during the event will be recycled through Playback, D’Addario’s free, national recycling program. After college, Mark Tirabassi used what he had in his bank account to open Hubbard Music which quickly expanded to two stores. However, with his music career taking off, Mark was forced to leave the stores in his brother’s hands and hit the road to tour with bands like Collective Soul. After his return, Mark introduced rentals into the business and provided everything necessary for the young, local bands. Since then, the family-owned business’s clientele has grown to include bigger names like Tony Bennett. Mark has also written several books, posts how-to videos on YouTube and gives lessons at libraries and local businesses. Hubbard Music has been in business for 26 years.

For companies and brands today, more sustainable production methods are topping lists of things to do. The uncertainty of material and vendor prices, the need to comply with a growing number of regulations and mounting evidence of environmental impacts increasingly drive change. More and more manufacturers are investing time, energy and money to fix infrastructures and further optimize supply and production chains. They have to, after increasingly finding themselves at risk for not putting forth the resources necessary to make their processes more sustainable. This is not to mention the vulnerability they incur by ignoring the growing demands of consumers who now expect transparency and CSR as a baseline.
