Tidy Shed from Creation North Makes Recycling & Garbage Neater

Mark Kawabe - Friday, May 21, 2010

With recycling now hitting the mainstream the problem of trying to keep recycling materials neat and secure can be a problem. Multiple bins for paper, plastics and food waste can create an unsightly mess around the home. Leaving bins outdoors exposes them to the elements and animals.

Creation North is introducing their new Tidy Shed around Niagara starting this week. The Tidy Shed resolves the problems of trying to keep multiple recycling and garbage containers in a neat and tidy format. The Tidy Shed is small in size but enhances people's yards while helping keep waste organized and secure.

Do you do this to your customers?

It applies to cell phones and hot dogs...but do you do it in your business too?


The fact companies act like this isn't the real issue. What's more important is their customers tolerate it. Bets are yours won't.

A Truly Green Tea

Mark Kawabe - Thursday, May 13, 2010
I was in at LM Teas yesterday and picked up a tea to go. I didn't think about the cup it was served in until today when the cup finally made the trip from my car's beverage holder to the house. What a nice surprise.

The cup from LM Teas had a plastic lid and cardboard sleeve, both of which are recyclable. Most disposable cups aren't widely recyclable or compostable. This one was, and it made me go WOW!

LM Teas uses ecotainer cups™ which are coated using Polylactic Acid (PLA) from plants to make them waterproof. When composted, the PLA is broken down by microbes so the entire cup is quickly biodegradable. I do realize that EVERYTHING is biodegradable EVENTUALLY, but it's nice to see a local company making the greenest choice possible.

Hats off to Carmen and Jill at LM Teas for their great teas and green cups!
