I read an interesting post last weekend, where the blogger had just received a new Tassimo Drink machine. Caite, at A Lovely Shore Breeze, left me a message reminding me that it was at her blog that I read that post.  I mentioned that I use my machine as a hot water source.  A few readers mentioned that they had not considered doing that.  In this post I am going to expand on my comments on that blog.

Let’s face it. We’re not all cloth-diapering mamas. For many of us disposable diapers are the practical choice. But just because you use disposables, doesn’t mean you don’t consider your impact on the environment and try to make greener changes in other ways. But now a partnership with Huggies and TerraCycle–a recycling powerhouse company that thrives on waste, we can do a little bit more to offset those diapers that end up being tossed into landfills. TerraCycle is known for taking things like CapriSun wrappers, Doritos bags, or circuit boards and turning them into reusable products like grocery totes, clocks and outdoor fencing. But as part of a program with Huggies, called the Huggies Brigade, they are collecting the plastic packaging from Huggies Diaper bags and recycling it into other products. This keeps it out of the landfill and re-worked into another purpose.

Nowadays, there are so many awesome ways to take ordinary items around your home and repurpose them into something brand new. As a society, we often waste so much adding to our ever increasing landfills. If you have been thinking of ways to go green, but don't know where to start, we have a few projects for you. TerraCycle is a company that dedicates itself to eliminating waste. Establishing recycling systems around the country, TerraCycle works to create new products from donated and collected waste (sounds interesting right?).

What’s in a name? Shakespeare posed the question in “Romeo and Juliet” centuries ago. Yesterday, artist Mike Carey, an instructor teaching the art of graffiti, had a 21st century answer: If you’re looking for a good name to use as your graffiti tag, the answer is originality, a little flare and not too many letters. The series of graffiti classes taught by Carey and other instructors kicked off in the headquarters for recycling company TerraCycle on New York Avenue in Trenton. “See?” Carey said after creating his tag with a few flicks of a felt-tipped pen. “This is nice and legible, you can write it quickly.” “Anybody can write their name,” artist and instructor Dave Klama said as the students furiously scribbled their own designs in their sketchbooks. “It takes a graffiti writer to write it in style.”

The kindergarten classes continue to collect Capri Sun pouches to recycle through the TerraCycle program. Please send in empty Capri Sun pouches with straws removed. All money earned is used to support projects in our school.

Albe was one of my very first guests when I started Mrs. Green. We’ve come a long way baby! The tagline on their website? Eliminate The Idea of Waste. Love it! You also know I love numbers so ponder these and plan to join us: Number of people collecting trash through partnerships with Terracyle – 26,511,927. Waste units collected: 2,262,684,595. Dollars donated to charities: $3,491,776.12. Counting the days. This show sponsored by Environmental Development Group (EDG)
