Union College students were recently named the winners of Garnier’s national Rinse, Recycle, Repeat campaign, created in partnership with TerraCycle and DoSomething.org, and as a result, their Lincoln, NE college campus will receive a green garden made from recycled beauty and personal care products.
The team of students from Union College competed against 49 other schools to collect and recycle 7,657 empties throughout the month of April.
“We wanted to make a positive change in our community and the Rinse, Recycle, Repeat competition was a great platform to get people involved and passionate about recycling,” said Victoria Nichols, team captain of the Union College volunteers. “The Garnier green garden is a symbol that we were able to do our part by keeping 7,657 empties out of landfills, and informing others about the benefits of conserving natural resources and reducing waste.”
In addition to the green garden instillation in Lincoln, Garnier has donated nine other green gardens throughout the country. These gardens have engaged hundreds of thousands of individuals in the surrounding communities and many of them grow fruit and vegetables for local schools in impoverished areas where children do not have access to nutritional lunches.
