Walmart shoppers can bring any and all hair care, skin care and cosmetic packaging to the tour vehicle to be recycled by TerraCycle, learn about the environmental impact of personal care products, and score some free samples of Pure Clean.
Garnier is kicking off a packaging collection and recycling program with TerraCycle called the Personal Care and Beauty Brigade and announcing biodegradable hair care line Pure Clean. After these tour stops, El Paso residents can join the Brigade at www.TerraCycle.net to send in their personal care packaging from home. The program is free to join and all shipping costs are paid. Even better? TerraCycle pays $.02 for each unit of waste collected to the charity of the collector’s choice.

Update: season pass prices just went up on June 6, 2011, and some of the offers extended “for a limited time” just ended. Here’s the current mix of deals. If you click through & the price has reverted back, the offer is over.
Want to visit Six Flags Over Georgia or White Water in 2011
but don’t want to pay full price? As always, if you plan to visit Six Flags at least twice, the season pass is your best bet. Not only does it pay for itself, but it comes with a coupon book that’ll let you get friends in free & save on food & merchandise. That said, you’ve got a few ways to save on admission:
Cada embalagem recolhida vale R$ 0,02 e o valor total é destinado a uma instituição sem fins lucrativos que a Brigada de consumidores indicar, como escolas públicas. Desde que foi lançado, o programa já engajou mais de dois grupos, envolvendo cerca de 135 mil pessoas, chegando a um milhão de embalagens. O material reciclado deu origem a uma linha de quase 50 produtos, tais como bolas, bolsas, mochilas e estojos, entre outros.
For most people, recycling is boring. It's something they know is a good thing to do. But for many, that's just not enough motivation. I see recyclables in the trash all the time and the nation's horrid recycling rate (which estimates peg around 30-35%) is widely discussed.
Over the years, many paths have been tried: paying people money per pound, a nickel deposit back per bottle, curbside collection, and to make it as easy as tossing in the trash, the single blue bin that's been popular since the 90s. Recently, companies like Greenopolis have been getting creative with incentivizing recycling, as I discussed here last week.
But what about making recycling fun, something you'd even want to take an active part in doing? Is that possible? Our partnership with NBC New York is another step on that path for us. Putting the silly in recycling is a ridiculous animated Rube Goldberg style machine that "processes" things like Starburst wrappers, with the resulting new product popping out the other end.
And this NBC recycling machine doesn't just stay put on their site. We've made it embeddable, and shareable on Facebook and Twitter. It may look silly, but it does two things: gets people's attention, and makes it clear that things they're used to only being able to throw away can in fact be made into something else entirely. . .
TerraCycle’s staff has grown quickly. In 2008, we had about 35 employees, all in the United States. We now have about 100, including 70 or so in the United States and 30 abroad, managing operations in 14 foreign countries. Given our anticipated growth, I expect we will have 125 employees around the world by the end of 2012.
I guess some of my views about hiring are unconventional. While I have lectured at many of the major business schools in America, including Harvard and Wharton, I have no formal management training. Most of what I have learned has been through trial and error. And I’ve made plenty of errors, so many that the list is almost endless — for example, hiring senior folks who dazzled me with their credentials and experience until I figured out that they were positioning themselves to take my job.
