A new C-TRAN program will prevent thousands of discarded cigarette butts from going into landfills. Instead, they’ll be recycled. In late August, C-TRAN began gathering all cigarette butts collected at Vine station receptacles and sending them to TerraCycle, a global, New Jersey-based recycling company that specializes in hard-to-recycle waste. Once received, the cigarette butts are separated by composition and melted into hard plastic. That material can then be used to make new recycled industrial products, including plastic pallets, according to TerraCycle. Any remaining tobacco and ash is recycled as compost.

The crisp packet recycling scheme - the first nationwide initiative of its kind in the UK - is due begin in December, Walkers has announced. A campaign that saw environmentalists sending empty crisp packets back to Walkers using its freepost address garnered attention last month and led Royal Mail to plead with activists to put the packs in envelopes as failure to do so would cause delays to the mail sorting system.

For some reason, I always think I’m going to have time to catch up on things in the next season. Then that season rolls around and it seems like it’s the busiest one yet. With fall we started the school routine back up and along with school comes all the other activities that go along with it from swim lessons to soccer practice.
