At last somewhere to send those bottle caps.



It always bothered me that you had to remove the plastic bottle top before putting your plastic bottle in the recycle bin. It's plastic why can't it be recycled too......well now thanks to the Aveda company it can. Someone at last has taken steps to remove these little plastics menaces from the landfills. Thanks to Aveda not only will these little caps be lessened in landfills around the country but they will lessen the danger to wildlife and ocean animals as these caps often make there way into the rivers and oceans causing great harm and death to the beautiful and, innocent creatures that live there. How it took so long for someone to finally realize the harm they do and their recycling potential I don't understand. Even Keeva at 4 years old was aware without promting of the danger they caused to sealife. Last year when we were at Dolphin Cove in the Bahamas Keeva, when walking on the walkway over the water to get on our boat back to the main Island dropped, accidentally, her bottle cap through the space in the decking. She was devastated and traumatized for a long time about how the Dolphins were going to eat it and get sick. A 4 year old was aware of the tragic consequences of something that happened accidentally but every time we throw a bottle cap in the trash we are purposefully partaking in the potential death of one of the Earths beautiful creatures. So come on people gather your hard plastic bottle caps of every kind, soda, toothpaste, peanut butter and take them to your nearest Aveda store or salon. Check here for a store/salon near you it's just another simple step in helping Mother Earth who has been so good to us.
