Well for all those at Glastonbury the weather has not held out but the show must go on. It is day 4 of Recycle Week and the team at BeMoreEco and MoreEco are really getting in to the swing of things. Today we took delivery of two new recycling bins for the office. One for plastic and the other for metal. For a great selection of recycle bins for your office check out this great post at EcoTrendSpotter <click here>.

Recycle Week Reading

Two articles have taken my interest today. They are;

Virtual food hall goes green to mark Recycle Week -VISION (Virtual Interactive Shopping Information Online) is a web-based interactive food toolkit to help consumers make more informed choices about the food they eat. The centrepiece of the site is an interactive food hall to explore and the ‘Are You Balanced?’ challenge based on the Food Standards Agency eatwell plate.

Working in conjunction with Gloucestershire county council’s Waste Management Unit, VISION can now demonstrate how easy it is to recycle everyday items from food and drink cans to cardboard cereal boxes. The site also points you in the right direction should you need more information.

Biodegradable plastic bags carry more ecological harm than good – The European Plastics Recyclers Association warned that they “have the potential to do more harm to the environment than good.” Technically what we are talking about here is “oxo-degradable” plastics. These are plastics made to degrade in the presence of oxygen and sunlight, thanks to the addition of tiny amounts of metals like cobalt, iron or manganese.

Lunch (Recycle Week Pledge)

Today I did not do well. I received a phone call this morning from an old business colleague, who invited me out for lunch. I must admit it was great having a nice big lunch, but I did feel guilty. So I have decide that  tonight I am going to make something with the left overs in the fridge.  I need to make something with some vegetarian chili, bread, cucumber, roast chicken, peas, and 3/4 bottle red wine!!. I may tell you tomorrow what I did, but if you have suggestion please send us a comment!

Recycle Week daily Video

Miniature models of Manhattan, New York City by baybong38  at YouTube - “It’s a matter of two decades now to build the model of the entire city of Manhattan made of recycle pens,cigarette lighter,lego’s and anything small made of plastic. I collect them and paint,put some details so it adds a better look.But since then,i realized that vinyl eraser are more easier to design and more cheaper than lego.So enjoy the video and i’ll throw another clip on when the whole set is finish.”
