Tackling the garage early in the moving process can make the rest of your move just a little easier. You can create a staging area for packing the rest of the house with supplies at hand and have the space to make piles of items to throw out, donate or sell. #NeatWorks #ourtimeyourpeaceofmind #heretohelp #organization #organized #declutter #organizer #downsize #simplify

C2C Scholar John L. has authored a new article in The Conversation US discussing how major retailers like Kroger, Walmart, and Costco Wholesale can increase profits by donating expiring food instead of opting for discounts or disposal. This strategy not only enhances profitability but also addresses food insecurity in our communities. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gxGPBakv #FoodDonations #RetailStrategy #FoodInsecurity

Bristol, Walsall, Sunderland and Bury are among 54 councils set to share £1.2 million in grants in the third round of funding from the Chewing Gum Task Force. Launched in 2021, the task force was established by Defra and is administered by Keep Britain Tidy and funded by gum producers. They will receive grants of up to £27,500 to pay for cleaning and signage, and a fully funded bespoke gum litter prevention package. According to Keep Britain Tidy, littered gum affects around 77% of England’s streets and 99% of retail sites. The four councils are estimated by the charity to spend around £7 million cleaning up gum. https://lnkd.in/gYYbc5BZ

"Inside a Liquidation Center That Sorts Millions of Returns a Year for Resale, Donation, Recycling, and the Trash" In the middle of Pennsylvania's booming warehouse district, the Lehigh Valley, one 300,000 square foot warehouse is full of apparel, personal care products, holiday decorations, rugs, and thousands of random items — most of which have already been delivered, and then returned. "We get this truckload full of various stuff, and then our job is to accurately account for it and separate it out," Curtis Greve, vice president of operations for Inmar Intelligence, told Insider during a tour of the facility. Inmar's goal is to maximize the money still to be made on those items by determining where to send them, whether that's back to the store, to an outlet or discount seller, donating them, or, in about 1% of cases, responsibly destroying them.

Well, we've planted over half a million trees in the last 3 years. Not a bad little milestone for 2 Manchester dads. As ever in life, this was down to the collective efforts of many including our brilliant members. Well done to all involved and the Play It Green | Certified B Corp community. The 519,000 trees we've planted so far is enough to rebalance the emissions of every Licenced Car in Manchester (172,830 cars) for the last 11 weeks. That's not why we do but it is a pretty cool stat to share. We've also helped over 100,000 people and 300+ businesses take more footprint reduction actions and passed on funds to 35+ charities, seven receiving four figure sums. We're all about #reduce #repair #regive We're a small business helping other businesses be greener and more impactful. To leave a legacy and not shy away from the fact that being green helps you win more business, grow and be more profitable. Conscious capitalism as my fellow cofounder Richard Dickson would say. If Carlsberg did subscription services...it would be Play It Green.
