Rubber bands, twist ties, and those pastic clasps they use on bread wrappers. I take the rubber bands on the newspaper back to their circulation department, but I still struggle with bands, ties and clasps collecting in a drawer.

Eco-Cycle One of our favorite Zero Waste supporters is under attack! Annie Leonard's video "The Story of Stuff" -- a quick and insightful look at the underside of our consumption habits -- was attacked on Glenn Beck's cable and radio shows yesterday. Please watch and share this important video and check out Annie Leonard's blog for her response.

Eco-Cycle What a Zero Waste victory! City Council voted to buy a new (and very much needed) site for CHaRM and ReSource. Soon enough, the Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials will no longer be hard to find.

The Boulder City Council on Tuesday night approved the $6 million purchase of a 10-acre site at 6400 Arapahoe Ave. to expand the city’s recycling operations — and voted to raise the trash tax to its maximum voter-approved levels to pay for it.

Eco-Cycle ECO-FACT: Bottle recycling deposits greatly increase recycling participation rates, but only a few states offer them. Last spring, Rep.

Did not mean to be deceptive! To clarify, it's $41 for 5 years of a no-junk mailbox, which comes out to 2 cents a day per household. Then, $15 of those $41 are donated to Eco-Cycle.
