Did you know that April is Earth Month? It is a pretty important month seeing as we all have to live here as do our future generations. Earth Month is a reminder that we need to keep the planet healthy and clean. Tom’s of Maine is a company that believes basically everyday can be Earth Day. For over 45 years they have been inspired to make natural, effective products while still nurturting the environment. With the average family producing nearly 125 pounds of trash every week, Tom’s of Maine is encouraging families to keep as much waste out of landfills as possible.

Students at A.G. Baillie Memorial School have done all that in a project involving the collection of certain plastic materials that, for various reasons, typically don’t get included in our recyclable bags at home. Their efforts even placed them among finalists in a national contest sponsored by the Febreze company and run by TerraCycle.

Many individuals are under the impression that some materials, products and forms of packaging are not recyclable by design or composition. While this is a commonly held belief among many people across the world, it is simply untrue. The real barrier preventing our most common waste streams from being recycled has to do with only one thing: economics.

Taking a look at Memorial’s smoking ban a few years later. In 2013, Memorial University took a step similar to many other universities across the country to curb the menace that is smoking on campus. Armed with posters bearing catchy slogans and the removal of ashtrays, on August 1, 2013, smoking became officially banned at MUN.

Everyone’s talking about Juicero, a just-launched, cold-pressed juicer for home use that’s incredibly novel in its ability to liquify your veggies. The San Francisco start-up has raised a whopping $100 million from investors and is about to raise more. Given the serious financial heft behind this company and the healthy kitchen gadget’s $699 price tag, Juicero is being called everything from “revolutionary” and “the Keurig of juicers” for its single-serve style—to overpriced, and thus not capitalizing on the opportunity to get more people juicing.

A.G. Baillie Memorial School is one of the top 20 finalists in the Febreze Frenzy Contest, a nationwide recycling contest sponsored by Febreze and run by TerraCycle. The location is one of the top collectors of traditionally non-recyclable air and home care packaging waste, such as trigger heads from spray bottles. By participating in the contest, they are not only reducing the amount of local landfill waste, but are eligible to win a share of $5,000 for a charity of their school.
