Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful’s Post

Consumer Action is a nonprofit fighting for policies that promote financial prosperity and fairness for underrepresented consumers. Last night, they celebrated their 52nd anniversary and paid tribute to long-serving staff, supporters and sponsors. Thankfully, Consumer Action is also an endorser of The Aluminum Association and Can Manufacturers Institute's #RecyclingRefund (i.e., deposit return system) principles for beverage containers. Recycling refunds have a proven track record of benefiting consumers by incentivizing recycling, reducing litter, lowering GHG emissions and providing clean materials to serve as recycled content in new beverage containers. By encouraging more recycling, these programs also create more jobs than when beverage containers are landfilled. Big thanks to Drumfire Public Affairs for partnering with us and MC'ing last night's event. If your company is interested in learning more about how you can be part of the solution, please send me a message (no financial commitment is necessary).

Starting April 6, 2024, a new law will revolutionize how non-domestic premises handle waste. Businesses, charities, and public sector organizations must now separate waste for recycling. This move aims to supercharge Wales' recycling efforts, boosting both quality and quantity. Natural Resources Wales will be overseeing these crucial changes, ensuring compliance and driving progress. What does this mean for businesses? It's time to get sorting! Paper, glass, metal, plastic, and more- all need to be separated for recycling. Who's impacted? Everyone. All businesses, charities, and public sector organizations are in this together. Why the change? It's a big step towards a greener future. By cutting down on waste and recycling more, we're reducing our carbon footprint, supporting the economy, and tackling the climate crisis head-on. Wales is already leading the way in recycling, and this law further cements our commitment to sustainability. Looking for solutions to your waste silicone release liners? Techlan has you covered.

This is a huge, proud moment for our team... because of the incredible community clean ups and data tracking efforts led by the League to Save Lake Tahoe, the city of South Lake Tahoe will officially ban single use plastic water bottles starting on Earth Day. From 2014 through 2023, our volunteers picked up/tracked 20,100 plastic bottles, 31,300 plastic caps and 163,800 unidentifiable plastic pieces. Coupling this data with the science showing the harm that microplastics can have on the environment and Lake clarity enabled more wide-spread support than may have otherwise been possible through a simple ban suggestion. Sometimes, making big change can feel like it requires dramatic effort, but the League to Save Lake Tahoe has been able to prove again and again that great policy can come from great science, and when science protects something as beautiful as Tahoe, it becomes possible. #environment #conservation #nonprofit #plastic #earthday

🌟 January was Buy Nothing New Month. This campaign goes beyond recycling – it's about consciously reducing new purchases, minimising waste, and embracing the value of what we already own. This month we have been: 🛠 Cherishing the things we have. 🔧 Repairing instead of landfilling. 🏡 Finding new homes for the things we no longer need. Why Buy Nothing New? 🌐 If the world lived like the UK, we'd need over two and a half planets to sustain us. Let's extend Buy Nothing New for the rest of the year!
