April is known for being Earth Month. It’s a time to look at the world by celebrating the incredible world we live in. There are times when the problems that our planet faces and its environment seem incredibly overwhelming to us. The question is mostly asking ourselves is how can we begin? What can we do to make a difference or change? Making little changes that can help save our planet in a big way can go a very long way for the future of our planet.
Starting on March 21st, Tom’s of Maine will be working with TerraCycle on #LessWasteChallenge, which is a month-long social action campaign that is challenging individuals over social media to reduce one pound of waste each week from their daily lives. The campaign is an ideal solution to get rid of broken toys that don’t have to wind up in a landfill or take up needless space in your very own home.
It’s very simple to get involved.
