Merici College Green Tip #12 - What to do with used paper towel
Submitted by mericiadmin on May 5, 2023 - 9:51amUsed paper towel is often found in the yellow recycling bins at Merici.
Paper towels are not recyclable and cannot be disposed of alongside your other paper and cardboard recyclables.
Although paper towels are typically made using wood or cardboard, the process that gets them kitchen-ready makes them non-recyclable.
Plus, they can also be contaminated with toxic or non-organic products.
Unbleached paper towels can go in the compost.
Others must sadly go to landfill.
Merici College Green Tip #11 - Want to reduce your indoor air pollution
Submitted by mericiadmin on April 28, 2023 - 12:40pmGet a plant!
Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors.
Studies show that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.
Indoor plants are an easy and attractive way to purify the air in your home and workplace.
Keep them away from your pets though!
