It’s no coincidence that EcoScraps has so many similarities to Terracycle – just like Terracycle and companies such as Honest Tea, Recyclebank and Warby Parker, EcoScraps has the ability to successfully implement what BBMG described as Disrupt and Delight – “leverage the constraints of sustainability to design products and services that work better, cost less and deliver ways for all of us to create a better world.” This is the key for its success and for a little less wasteful future for the rest of us.

Troop 1811 has been working hard to collect wrappers that they can put to positive use. East Meadow Girl Scout Troop 1811 has been working hard to give back to their organization. "We have been collecting Nabisco and Keebler wrappers, along with all candy wrappers and sending them to a recyclable company called Terracycle," Debbie Iadevaio, one of the group's leaders, told Patch via email. "In turn, they donate money to the girl scouts of Nassau County council. This year we also started collecting Elmer's glue containers and sticks." Amanda Skoros is the other leader for Troop 1811. Below is a list of all the girls who have participated in the project.

Har tilmeldt mig Terracycle's "Tassimo-brigade": Jeg indsamler de brugte kapsler og emballage og sender det portofrit til genbrug!

My homegirl and Miami blogger Jewel of Jewel’s Fab Life is hosting the Garnier Greener Tour this Friday from 4pm-6pm in Miami. I’m all kinds of jealous that I can’t attend. It’ll be an epic event for several reasons…

• The beauty pimped out Garnier bus will park its sexy self at a Walmart parking lot. What’s inside the bus? Garnier goodies, cupcakes and information on how we can recycle our cosmetic packaging.

• TerraCycle’s partnership with Garnier means there will be bins on site to encourage you to bring old shampoo, conditioner, and lotion bottles to recycle.

• Hairstylists will be on site in case you’d like to upgrade your locks a bit.

• There will be plenty of games and activities.

• You’ll get to hang out with Jewel!

The event is absolutely free but you do need to RSVP to confirm your attendance. If you make it – tell Jewel I said “hi!” For more information, check out Jewel’s post here.

If there’s anything that kissable Kermit the Frog taught us it’s this: It’s good to be green. So it’s no wonder Garnier and TerraCycle will be hitting the 305 for The Garnier Green Tour on Friday, July 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Walmart located at 8400 Coral Way. Think fully loaded tour bus that will be making stops stores all over Florida offering beauty buffs cool ways to help protect Mother Nature like this: • TerraCycle collection bins to encourage people to recycle empty personal care and beauty items • A TerraCycle representative on site to educate on recycling and upcycling • Garnier samples • Garnier styling stations • Fun games and activities The crown Jewel (pun intended) of this event? My girl, Jewel Figueras from Jewel’s Fab Life is hosting a Miami blogger and reader meet-up from 4 to 6 p.m.. It’s FREE and there will be Garnier stylists doing fun hairstyles, sweet treats, and Garnier gift bags for all attendees. Everyone can bring any empty or old hair care, skin care or cosmetic packaging for recycling (which is perfect since you’ll need to make room for all those new Garnier goodies!) Jewel is also hosting a Garnier giveaway here. Hope to see you all there!
