Something Inspirational
1 Comment Published March 7th, 2010 in Color Country Information, Personal Conservation.A friend passes on something worth blogging!
We’re pretty good at recycling things at our house. But a friend passed along a tip that showed us we can get better. I thought it was worth passing on to you.
Lisa sent me this email:
Many of us are looking for ways to make a difference. Check out what this 12 year old in Iowa has done.

I’m hoping his web site goes viral (See Note 1). It could happen!
We’ve been throwing away our bottle caps! We won’t be doing that anymore. The site states that any store selling “Aveda” products will take the caps for recycling. I checked it out. Aveda claims that it’s true! There’s one location in St. George. (See the map.) Since it’s Sunday today and they’re closed, I can’t call and ask. But I’m going to start recycling my bottle caps anyway.

Thanks, Dan – and Lisa. My church and all of its members are active recyclers. We have bins and garbage cans outside the church and they are filled regularly. – But, we have not been recycling bottle caps. We will do so now, however. I’m going to tell the committee in charge of this about the website and I’ll tell them I will be responsible for taking the caps to an Aveda salon (I found one 5 miles from my house) when our container is filled.
Love hearing positive stories about the younger generation!
