Meadowsweet staff member Becky Collins was recently recognized for her eco-responsibility with an award from Taste for Life magazine. Becky entered a contest that asked readers to share what they do to support a greener future. “At my place of employment, it’s Earth Day every day for me.”, says Becky. Since Meadowsweet’s garbage collection service offers no recycling program, Becky decided to begin taking the recyclables home herself to make sure they were not just getting thrown away. “This may seem like a small way to conserve and protect our earth, but it has been such a blessing to start a project like this and have the cooperation of my co-workers. We can all do it one baby step at a time.”
For her efforts, Becky received a prize package with donations from several of our vendors, including Nordic Naturals, Country Life, Natural Vitality, and Garden of Life. Congratulations Becky, and thanks for all your effort and inspiration!
Taste for Life magazine is available for free at Meadowsweet Market and online at tasteforlife.com
