这其实是泰瑞环保与华东理工大学环保协会共同合作，发起的一个免费回收任何口腔护理产品包装的活动，活动由高露洁棕榈（中国）有限公司赞助，旨在向大家宣传并提高垃圾分类、循环利用等环保意识，以带动全社会的生态环保进步。
所以牙具回收箱就是供大家投放用完的、废弃的牙具，我们初步先在五到八围合试行，每层楼的两边盥洗室内各安放一个，大家可以随手把用完的牙具投放进去。
你的旧牙刷、牙膏管、漱口水，以及它们的包装，统统都有归宿啦~

The Butt Blitz of 2017 is underway and downtown businesses are chipping in.
The Butt Blitz aims to remove the thousands of cigarette butts that are thrown onto downtown Barrie streets every day by having folks put them in one of the 23 cigarette containers throughout the area. A press conference was organized by the Downtown Barrie BIA Thursday at ZuZu Fashion Boutique.
ZuZu owner Tracey Baker was excited to be a part of the campaign to clean up downtown as her shop has been a mainstay for the last two years at 25 Dunlop Street East. Not only a member of the Downtown Barrie BIA, Baker is also very conscience of the environment and wants the city to be a leader in that concern.
“This an environmental issue that maybe people don’t think about too often,” said Baker. “4.5 trillion butts are discarded annually on our planet and the majority of those end up in lakes and streams. One cigarette butt in one litre of water can kill one fish. That’s horrifying when you look at the numbers that are polluting the waters, and we are Barrie, we’re known for our beautiful bay.”
The campaign was spearheaded by A Greener Future which is a Canadian environmentally-directed non-profit that creates events to help clean up the planet. The Butt Blitz is a nationwide event and Barrie’s leg starts May 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where Baker has asked shop-owners and anyone in downtown to clean up the space around them and put the butts in plastic bags where they’ll be picked up near the end of the day. While the Blitz takes place Saturday, Baker reminds everyone they can start now and keep going always.
“The Terracycle receptacles are up and will be emptied periodically from now till forever,” said Baker. “When they’re emptied they are sent to Terracycle where the butts are actually recycled into making shipping pallets. It’s a great way to not just keep the city clean but also the environment. We’ve already seen that it works as we have had three full bags already. Approximately 750 butts per bag multiply that by the 23 containers and we are really making a dent in the waste.”
The city of Barrie purchased the 23 containers and the BIA installed them. Tom Ambreau is with the BIA and loves that the city has taken a course of action to help the environment. Ambreau also stresses the other obvious reason to clean up the butts as beautifying the city is important too.
“The environmental concern is key here and we have to take care of our future,” said Ambreau. "But another factor is the mess. How many times do you walk downtown and see all the cigarette butts lying around and hate the mess? With our patio season coming, it will be nice to get the area totally ready for hanging out and enjoying our downtown.”
People can head over to ZuZu’z today to pick up the items needed for Saturday’s But Blitz. For more information on the campaign, check the

Volunteers are coming together to clean up the streets in the Butt Blitz.
This is the first year Vernon will be participating in the Canada wide initiative to clean up communities and raise awareness about the impact of cigarette butts.
“They pollute our environment, contaminate water and soil, poison wildlife and children and start a large number of wildfires. All of these things cost millions of taxpayer dollars to mitigate,” said Jack Elliman, a local organizer.
The event starts in the park next to the Greyhound depot at 10 a.m. and end at 4:20 p.m. at the skateboard park at Polson Park.
“As we move along we will be counting the butts we collect and announcing the grand gross total at the end of the day,” said Elliman.
“All of the collected butts will then be sent to Terracycle for recycling and redeemed for Terracycle points. The more butts we collect the more money we earn for charity.”
The event is organized by A Greener Future in partnership with

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. That’s the sort of mentality that produced an awesome playground at a Newark school.
The new jungle gym and playground at the Fourteenth Avenue School in Newark is made from recycled toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes, although you’d never know by looking at it. Visually indistinguishable from a “new” product, the innovative effort is a sign that the community is thinking of ways to breathe life into hard-to-recycle waste.
A collaborative effort between ShopRite, Colgate and recycling company TerraCycle, the playground will give local kids a safe – and inspirational – place to play for years to come, the project’s organizers stated.
