We received a very nice letter from Ms Alice Faye Wheeler in the mail today. She expresses herself eloquently - and certainly has a full grasp of her signature.

#5 Plastics and Brita Filters Voluntary Take-Back Program #5 plastics and Brita filters
Share/Bookmark

Preserve, Stonyfield Farm, Organic Valley, and Brita have teamed up to collect and recycle number 5 plastics leaving NYCWasteLess (like some yogurt cups, hummus tubs, and other food containers) and Brita® pitcher filters leaving NYCWasteLess.

These items can be recycled via the Preserve Gimme5 program leaving NYCWasteLess by bringing them to a participating Whole Foods location leaving NYCWasteLess or Green in BKLYN leaving NYCWasteLess. Caps can also be sent to Aveda for recycling through its Recycle Caps Program leaving NYCWasteLess, which are then sent to Preserve.

Voluntary take-back programs such as these enable the recycling of certain rigid plastics that would be uneconomical to recycle through NYC's curbside recycling program.

Now he is building the most precise clock of all time to directly measure whether our reality is an illusion.

"Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say that the chances for life on this planet are 100 percent. I have almost no doubt about it," Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of California Santa Cruz, told Discovery News.
