Fighting Food Waste, One Bag at a Time

2013-10-03 07.43.33Did you know 25% of the food & beverages we buy annually goes to waste?

I’ve teamed up with my friends at Glad® to help fight food waste in kitchens across the US for their #SaveItSunday campaign. To do so, take the pledge at www.saveitsunday.com and help decrease waste across the US.

2013-11-12 08.20.32Need to recycle your sandwich bags?

Friday, November 15th is America Recycles Day! The national recycling rate has increased every for the past 30 years. The current rate is 34.7%. With your help we can raise this even more!

Check out Glad’s food storage recycling program at TerraCycle.com. Glad® and TerraCycle have partnered to recycle used Glad® products into cool new products and benefit charity, too!

Glad® encourages families to take a stand against waste. That’s why TerraCycle has partnered to collect and recycle used Glad® and other brand food storage products, keeping potential waste out of our landfills. Through the Glad® Food Storage Brigade, you can do right for your family, community and the environment by recycling your used food storage products.

My Favorite Sandwich Bags

I used Flickr to archive my Sandwich Bag Art because my kids tossed them in the lunch room trash. Not because they didn’t like them, but because they were used to me just making a quick drawing and leaving it around.

I’ve written about how I came to Flickr as the place to archive these quick drawings. You can find almost all the Sandwich Bag Art there; I may have missed a few in the beginning.

I do have my favorite bags, and I have an album on Flickr that I haven’t looked at in at least 6 years. I’m going to share My Favorites album, knowing that I may add or subtract from it. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about a particular bag or bags in this album.

I also have an album of all the 2,000+ Sandwich Bags I drew when my kids were in elementary school and high school. You can find the Flicker album here.

In case you’re wondering, here’s the link to my public Flickr page.

Let me know if you have any questions.
