Recycling with Glad : Take a Stronger Stand Against Waste!!!

I inadvertently ran across an ad which shocked me (in a good way.)  It was an advertisement for Glad bags that I saw while catching up on my The Voice watching!
As the ad intrigued me, I decided to do a little bit of digging to see what this "One Bag" party (spoken of in the advertisement) is all about.  Apparently, Glad has a "One-Bag-Challenge," wherein they encourage parties (of any sort, even tailgating parties with thousands of people present!) to reduce waste, by using washable rather than disposable, thinking plants instead of cut flowers, and empowering your guests in the recycling by involving them more directly.
Information and education can go a LOOOONG way toward increasing the effectiveness and impact our response.  Anyway, the Glad website leads you directly to the source and gives all kinds of details and information about hosting a One-Bag event and more.   There is also a lot of videos available on this website for viewing, if you are interested.  Check it out guys, and get your recycling on!  There is no better time than now.  And here is an updated (and very short and sweet) guide on recycling as well!

Until next time, think green and stay positive!

Love, Meagan
