While flipping through the channels tonight, we found a show on National Geographic (NatGeo) Channel called Garbage Moguls featuring Terracycle, a company I previously highlighted in the blog. http://peaceloveplanet.blogspot.com/2010/04/time-has-come.html The show takes you behind the scenes to show how they take garbage and make it into products...and that is the key, being able to recycle things into products that are affordable, and a worthwhile product that someone would want to buy. On the show I watched, Pedigree Dog Food contacted them and challenged them to use their dog food bags, and dog food pouches (trash that would otherwise end up in the garbage) to design usable pet products. They have designed and sold many other products made from chip bags, cookie wrappers, Capri Sun bags, and much more. Check out their cool lunch box made from Capri Sun bags.
If you get a chance to check it out, I think you'll be as impressed as I am. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/garbage-moguls-4314/Overview
