One of the things that irritates me the most is how much of a throw away society we have become. It has become such a problem that land fills are popping up everywhere. Eventually the entire earth will be covered with land on top of trash, and the world of Wall-E will become a reality.
I would like to inform anyone and everyone about the company TerraCycle. This is an amazing group of people that upcycle trash for a living. Seriously, they take our trash and turn it into new products. Lunchables containers become trash cans and park benches and tables, chip snack bags get ground up and become other bags and containers, wine corks become new cork material and products. But my favorite?! CapriSun Pouches stitched together to make lunch sacks, and messenger bags.
Be sure to check this company out. I am signed up for a number of the collection programs and even though it is a lot of work, it makes me feel good that we as a family decreased the number of trash bags in half that my city takes to the dump from my house.
Be a tree hugger - sign up, join a brigade and start mailing them your trash!
