Here are some great options: Recycling options: 1. Ridwell: I'm a little obsessed with this right now. It's a box that you keep at your house that allows you to recycle all of the the things that you normally have to throw away. They come and pick up the items in your box every other week and they make sure those items are sent to companies who can reuse them to create something new instead of ending up in the landfill. You can even put candy wrappers in the bin and they make sure that the wrappers have another use! Right now you can also donate unused candy with Ridwell as well! Click HERE for a chance to get a free month of Ridwell!  2. Terracycle: You can order a Zero Waste Box that you fill up and send back when it's full. They send the box to companies who can reuse the contents to make them into something new!

Italy is known as the country of 'Let others do it.' This phrase, filled with delegation and procrastination, applies to charity as well. “There are volunteers, hospital clowns, and kind-hearted individuals who distribute food at soup kitchens, roaming around Milan, Rome, Bari, and other cities to feed the homeless!”. Starting from this deeply ingrained habit of passing the BUCK to others, those who purchased Ferragni's Panettone or desired designer gastric juices or wanted to help those children in their own way. Ferragni, who is more than financially stable, simply passed the responsibility to Balocco, which donated 50k for the charitable cause. She spent millions of euros to exploit the Ferragni brand and, as a consequence of her lies, now she has to pay another million. She will have a nice Christmas! Beyond the petty figure of Chiara, whom I used to admire but lost respect for after the felted sweater incident, people should stop assuming that charity was done with Pandoro. Even if she truly contributed to this donated amount, it would only be 0.003% of the sales revenue. Come on. However, stoning her is not a kind gesture. In short, the message of this post is clear: let's take action. Let's visit animal shelters, nursing homes, let’s donate to reputable organizations, or even buy groceries for the homeless person living near our house, of course, carefully selecting honest individuals from less trustworthy ones. It doesn't make us any less 'cool.' True well-being is achieved by taking care of ourselves and others.

Hello everyone, I'm thrilled to share that I recently made my first donation to The Brick by Brick from EMA1, a fantastic charity dedicated to supporting underprivileged families in the community. Supporting charities has always been important to me, and I'm truly excited to see the positive impact Amazon donation can have. When you make a donation to a charity, you are directly contributing to the betterment of your own community. Charities often focus on addressing specific needs within the community, such as providing food and shelter to the homeless, offering educational opportunities to children from low-income families, or supporting individuals and families facing financial hardship. By donating to these organizations, you are helping to create a positive and lasting impact right in your own backyard. Donating to charities also fosters a sense of connection and solidarity within the community. When individuals come together to support a common cause, it strengthens the bonds between them and creates a shared sense of purpose. This spirit of unity can be incredibly powerful and can lead to further positive changes within the community. But it's not just about the impact on the community - donating to charities can also be beneficial for the environment. Many local charities focus on sustainability and environmental conservation efforts, whether it's through recycling programs, community clean-up initiatives, or promoting eco-friendly practices. By supporting these organizations, you are contributing to the protection and preservation of the natural world around us. Furthermore, supporting charities can help reduce the carbon footprint associated with charitable activities. When you donate to a charity, you are often supporting programs and initiatives that operate within your local area, which means fewer resources are used for transportation and logistics. This localized approach can have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the need for long-distance transportation and minimizing the overall ecological footprint of charitable operations.

#ALDIresponsible | ALDI Portugal donates 12 truckloads of textiles nationwide 👕   ALDI Portugal has launched a major aid campaign and is donating textiles worth around two million euros. Together with the non-profit organisation ENTRAJUDA - Apoio a Instituições de Solidariedade, the donations will be distributed to around 800 institutions across the country. This campaign is particularly close to ALDI Portugal's heart, as the company has a strong commitment to national well-being.

As a basic retailer, it ALDI’S desire to support people in need with relief supplies and cover their basic needs.    👉 In total, around 400 pallets of textiles were collected over the course of the year.

Among the items donated were clothes for men, women and children, but also home textiles (comforters, cushions, blankets, towels, bed linen) and other accessories that are in short supply in the institutions, to ensure support for those who need it most.    💬" We are committed to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate. We are not just retailers, employers, business partners or competitors. We are also citizens and neighbors, and we want to use our skills and experience to help solve societal challenges that go beyond our business. In addition to donating surplus food in all our stores, we expand our activities at a local level, helping to minimise the need felt across the country" says Ricardo Santos, Managing Director Marketing & Communication at ALDI Portugal about the purpose of the campaign.     💙 Following this donation, and after sorting the various donated goods by gender, age, season and functionality, ENTRAJUDA will send them to more than 800 social institutions in different parts of the country, including: shelters, social and parish centres, homeless support centres, support centres for people with disabilities and others with a local impact on the communities, some of which already have a partnership with ALDI for the daily donation of surplus food.    🔍 ENTRAJUDA is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to help charities improve their management and organisation in order to fight poverty in Portugal. #aldinordgroup #aldiportugal #responsibility #donation

After hearing people at work talking about selling things on Vinted, I recently joined to see what all the hype was about. (I have to say, it is slightly addictive!) After another conversation with a colleague John Shorrock, I discovered he wasn’t very good at returning clothes which he had ordered online in time, and so he had quite a few pieces of brand new clothing which didn’t fit but couldn’t be returned - so I offered to put my newfound Vinted skills to use and we’d send the money raised to charity! In just 3 days, we managed to raise £125 for GAIN Charity, an amazing charity which helps people affected by Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a syndrome which John has been personally affected by so it holds personal significance. Two morals of the story here: ➡️ Always give back to people who have helped you ➡️ You don’t need to be an expert baker or run 10k to make a difference - which is fortunate because I can’t do either of those two things! 🤣 #vinted #charity
