Recycling is one of the best things you can do for the environment. It reduces landfill waste and diverts litter from the world’s oceans (hit with 10-20 million tons of plastic pollution every year) and prevents them turning into microplastics, tiny plastic particles that impact animals, natural ecosystems and, ultimately, humans. The eco action also conserves natural resources, offsetting the need to mine the planet for new, “virgin” materials.

To meet its goals, Natural Habitat will supply guests with zero-waste toolkits including reusable items like coffee mugs and cutlery. Sprinter vehicles will be outfitted with composting and recycling systems including TerraCycle, which breaks down hard-to-recycle items like granola bar wrappers. To ensure the trip is 100% carbon neutral, the company will offset the emissions from all flights, vehicles, hotels and boats used during the tour through programs such as reforestation initiatives. Guests will also have the option to offset their international or domestic pre-tour flights if they choose. The price of the trip — which starts at $5,695 — will be the same as Natural Habitat’s regular Yellowstone safaris. And in turn, Whelan says he hopes the experience will inspire partner hotels, restaurants and guests to embrace zero-waste techniques.

Por intermédio de uma Gincana Ecológica, interclasse, a E. M. "Cel. Joaquim José de Souza" realiza uma campanha para ajudar o meio ambiente e o ser humano. E, para tanto, uma equipe da instituição (Luciene Siqueira, bibliotecária; Edivaldo Clemente, professor de informática e alguns alunos) participou de programas da TerraCycle, empresa que trabalha com reciclados e arrecada material escolar, esponja, escova, tubo e a caixinha de pasta dente, que a escola, também, está arrecadando.

A UFSC, a partir de uma iniciativa estudantil, já tem seu ponto de coleta de esponjas usadas. As esponjas doadas são revertidas em recursos para entidades sem fins lucrativos ou escolas.

All items turned in to participating schools will be recycled by TerraCycle, an organization committed to eliminating waste by recycling items that are not traditionally recycled. KGIB’s annual School Challenge always attracts wide spread participation from public and private schools as well as home school associations and local colleges.

Court Whelan, Natural Habitat’s Director of Sustainability and Conservation, says, “As a world leader in conservation travel, we’re constantly looking for ways we can help people be better stewards of our planet. We seek to raise their awareness of how they live within the natural world, and to inspire them to become more sensitive to their impact on the ecosystems we all rely on.” To do that, they promote habits like refusing, reusing, recycling, and composting. They hand out zero waste kits, with reusable items like bottles, cutlery, and tote bags. The company uses bulk foods that are served individually in reusable containers. And questionable materials go to TerraCycle, a company specializing in hard-to-recycle waste.

New York-based eos Products, recognized for its lip balms, body lotions and shaving creams has recently collaborated with New Jersey’s private recycling company, TerraCycle to recycle the company’s end-of-life products into useful and durable items such as picnic tables, park benches, and bike racks
