Reuse Packaging Today
You Can Encourage People To Create Less Waste
The challenge in creating less waste is not the effort required, rather it’s making people aware of how easy
it is to reduce, reuse and recycle. To help spread the word we encourage you to reuse at least 1 item every day,
and have made it simple for you to encourage customers to join this cause.
Reuse It Today!

helped others become more environmentally savvy.

People have a tendency to overlook their consumption of limited resources. Megan MacMurray and Angela Pablo recognized this problem, and hope to change our behavior through Project Garden Electric. As part of this activity, they’ve focused on plastic bags, hoping to draw attention with their plastic wall flowers tutorial and get people to begin reducing, and if not reusing, recycling their plastic bags.

Although we haven’t personally asked him, Santa is obviously a fan of recycling. He’d be mighty impressed at the recycle flakes made by Chanelle and her daughter. While their creation used an old Crate & Barrel magazine, we think cutting patterns into colorful paper bags would also make festive decorations.
