Kindergardners recycle
Kudos to the kindergardners at St. Michael the Archangel School of Baltimore. They have recycled more than 400 soda bottles, which they have sent to a company called terraCycle. You can find their handiwork at local Home Depots and other places where terraCycle plant fertilizer is sold. TerraCycle washes the bottles, strips off the labels, then fills the recycled bottles with its product. For every bottle sent in, the company donates $5 to a charity of the school’s choosing. In this case, they chose Earth’s Birthday, which teaches children about our planet.
I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
