Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Posted on November 16th, 2008 in General, Green Plantscaping |

Recently I purchased a boxed appliance and upon opening it was amazed at all the stuff used to package it.  Plastic wrap, cardboard, twisty ties, at least three diffent pieces of paper to warantee and promote other products.  And, on top of all that…..big blocks of white styrofoam.  All destined to become part of a landfill or semi recycled.

Well, what if you could become a small part of the chain?  What if you could set up some agreement with a store that sells TVs and other stuff packaged in styrofoam and then, once a week or so, pick it up and reuse, repurpose, recycle it for staging plants??

Granted, a bit of trouble to go through but….what a neat win/win situation and what a good thing to point out to your clients.

Just a thought…..
