Are you a yogurt consumer? This one is for you! Recycle those containers into useful planters for plant retailers!
TerraCycle & Stonyfield Farm Yogurt Brigade
Every year millions of yogurt containers end up in garbage and landfills. That's a lot of zeros folks.
Doesn't have to be that way. Stonyfield Farm, the organic food leader and environmental pioneer, is partnered with TerraCycle to collect used yogurt containers to be recycled into planting pots.
TerraCycle sells the planting pots to large retailers currently using black plastic planting pots of which millions are throw out by consumers every year. This will conserve huge amounts of resources that won't need to be used to make the black planter pots.
How do you get signed up?
It's free. A simple visit to their website to fill out the form will get you on your way. It's really easy from there - you simply send back the containers in a postage paid box provided by TerraCycle!
Making a Difference - Twice
For every container collected, Stonyfield will donate 2 cents or 5 cents, respectively, to a charitable organization or school of the collector's choice. If you don't have a charity currently in mind, you may choose from a list of existing charities!
That's one point for the planet and one point for the charity of your choice!
