It’s Good Friday!
The U.S. military is the single largest consumer of
energy in the world. To put this in perspective,
Nigeria, with a population of more than 140 million,
consumes as much energy as the U.S. military.
Anyways, speaking of waste.....
"Made from waste, packaged from waste."
This is how the High Priest would describe the
company, TerraCycle, from Trenton, New Jersey. The
company’s flagship product, TerraCycle Plant Food, is
an all-natural, all- organic, “goof-proof” liquid
plant food made from worm poop and packaged in reused
soda bottles!
They’ve also partnered with OfficeMax, bringing a new
line of green office products to OfficeMax customers,
including pencil cases made from discarded containers
of Capri Sun juice pouches.
Another program they offer involves finding uses for
objects that used to be considered waste. Having
teamed up with companies like Nabisco, Clif Bar, and
Stonyfield Farm, TerraCycle enables almost any
organization to collect specific “waste” products such
as cookie wrappers, energy bar wrappers, yogurt cups,
and bottles. After signing up, they mail out prepaid
boxes to be filled with a specific number of the
specified product. For each unit received,a donation
is made to the charity of your choice.
So support TerraCycle and get wasted!
Oh, and don’t forget to celebrate Armed Forces Day
tomorrow!
Praise be to the Almighty arms that hug!
