Today when we open a pack of Wrigley's gum, we discovered that they have switched to paper wrappers. This saves about 850 metric tons of foil from going into landfills each year, which is equal to 60 millions cans each year! That's wicked cool that a small change, such as a tiny foil gum wrapper vs. a tiny gum wrapper, can add up to be such a major impact. Babysteps all around and congrats to Wrigley's for making the change! http://www.wrigley.com/global/our-commitment/global-sustainability.aspx
I'm smiling thinking that we are chewing gum that has eco-friendlier bubbles....and yes, I recycled the tiny paper wrapper as did Rosebud :)
”A la Carte Green” is about making green choices on a daily basis, in a manner that works for you. It's about trying and choosing greener options "a la carte" because there is no one size fits all solution. Not everyone can walk to work or have solar panels, but we can choose to bring waste-free lunches, or to dry our clothes in the sunshine. You get the picture. Small “A la Carte Green” choices made by each person will have positive impacts. Which green options will you choose?
