Image credit: Franco Folini /Flickr As you may know, TerraCycle partners with the public in what we call Brigades to collect everything from wine corks to Sharpie pens, and most famously, Capri Sun juice packs. Each piece collected earns 2 cents donated to the charitable organization or school of people’s choice. Astoundingly, we just reached $1 million paid to Drink Pouch brigaders!

Parking Day NYC Isn’t Activism, It’s Unintentional Performance Art

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

photos: Matthew McDermott Park(ing) Day has been a much-covered event here on TreeHugger for the past several years, and for good reason: It’s undeniably good fun to reclaim a bit of pavement used every other day of the week save for a Friday in mid-September, roll out the sod and create your own little bit of park in the city.
