The Three Rs

In today's ever-greening society, I think it might be appropriate to redo the Three Rs to mean Recycle, Reduce and Reuse.

That being said, I want to give a quick shout-out to a company that it walking the walk: Preserve

Their motto is "Nothing wasted. Everything gained"

The deal is this: they recycle plastic into everyday, household items that you can buy. And then, when you're done with whatever it is that you bought from them, guess what? You send it back and they recycle it.



In checking out the prices, it seems reasonable: 8 plastic plates for $7, food storage items starting at $3.

You should check it out. If you don't check it out, you are essentially wadding the planet up and tossing it in the trash. Happy shopping ;)

Love it! I recycle just about everything - as a result only about a bag of trash goes to the curb a week, it's awesome. And yay they have these at target! They carry it at central mkt but its pretty limited, so maybe more will be at the big red boutique.
