Tell Illinois legislators: Say farewell to foam
Plastic foam cups, take-out containers and other foodware contribute to the plastic waste flooding our environment. It's time to say farewell to foam.
Reuse-a-Palooza at the Plant in Chicago
What do you do with the jeans that are too far gone to donate? What about the padded plastic mailers that your Amazon order comes in? On Sunday, October 27 the Plant in Chicago hosted Reuse-a-Palooza, an event that brought together folks that collect and repair, reuse, repurpose or responsibly recycle items like those. Ecoship was collecting packaging materials, PCs for People was collecting laptops and we were there calling for policies that reduce waste to name a few of the participants.
It takes a team to reduce, reuse, repair and recycle – a team that we’re glad to get to work with to build a greener and healthier future.
