Red Cup Cleanup
Share
We are collecting used red cups and sending them to an organization called Terracycle, which uses the cups to make new plastic products. This provides a three-fold benefit:
1) the cups get recycled
2) it stops new plastic being produced to make these products
3) Terracycle donates two cents per cup to a charity of our choice. So what's wrong with just recycling the cups through the city of Davis?

Thoughts for your hump day: although it's better to reduce consumption, sending your "trash" across the country to be recycled seems to be a better alternative than having it end up in a landfill.
Is it OK to ship recyclables cross-country -- if landfill is the alternative? Sure, sending trash far away burns more carbon than recycling it locally. But recycling it far away still beats trashing it. Umbra sorts the tradeoffs.
