PORT ROWAN - Port Rowan Public School is doing their part to keep unnecessary waste out of landfills.
The school was recently recognized by TerraCycle Canada in a list of the Top 10 waste-collecting schools. The 300-student community placed sixth.
“We are so excited to hear the news that Port Rowan Public School has placed sixth for top collections,” said educational assistant Kathy Kingsley in a media release. “ I like that the TerraCycle program brings the student body, staff and community together to do better for the earth. It’s a win-win for all involved.”
A Barrie Catholic school has ranked high in a Canadian waste diversion contest.
St. Bernadette School placed eighth of the top 10 waste-collecting schools in the TerraCycle Canada waste collection program.
The school's efforts of collecting drink pouches, sandwich bags and personal care/beauty product packaging diverted 6.273 units of waste from landfills from September 2011 to February 2012.
L'école de la Source de Lavaltrie a terminé première de la Course aux déchets d'hiver. Ce concours organisé par TerraCycle Canada récompense les équipes ayant collecté le plus de déchets pour TerraCycle sur une période de 2 mois à travers tout le Canada.

Os queremos informar de nuestra actividad desarrollada con
Terracycle desde noviembre del pasado año. Much@s de vosotr@s lo conocéis por el nombre de
Brigadas Boligraferas. La idea es reciclar material de escritura (algo difícil de reciclar de manera individual) para reducir nuestro impacto ambiental y a su vez lograr financiación para una ONG o colectivo de ayuda social, en nuestro caso hemos elegido la
Fundación Banco de Alimentos de Valladolid.
Foi pensando nisso que Coppertone lançou o projeto Brigada Coppertone Protetores do Planeta, um programa que coletará embalagens de protetor solar vazias (independentemente do tamanho e da marca) e transformará em matéria-prima novamente, que pode substituir material virgem e evitar que mais recursos naturais sejam extraídos. Essa matéria prima poderá ser usada na produção de novos materiais a base de plástico como baldes, estojos e sacolas de compra reutilizáveis.
