I'm going to take a break here to blog about a program I just learned about through my kids' school. It's the Recycle Caps with Aveda program.
The boys' school has several green initiatives going on, but this one just came home in the newsletter. As I mentioned before we are pretty avid recyclers. Not only is it the right things to do, I have to admit, there is a bit of fun in the challenge of it for me. Just how much can we recycle and how little trash can we put out each week? However, it has always bothered me that we are instructed to remove milk caps, shampoo lids and laundry caps, etc. before putting them in the recycling bins.
Not anymore. Aveda has this program though schools where you can collect caps and they will recycle them. They are then recycled into new caps and containers. Thanks, Aveda!
We now have a bag of plastic caps accumulating at our house that our school will collect in December. Check it out and see if it's something you get get your school doing, too.

Totally going to try to get my former schools to get involved in this! Thanks so much for sharing the link. I always thought it was such a waste that the caps could never be recycled!
Love this! Any idea if we can take them in if not affiliated with a school?
