TerraCycle at Tisch’s Tower Cafe!!

Did you know that Tisch Library has set up a TerraCycle collection center in the Tower Cafe for patrons’ empty chip bags and foil-lined energy bar wrappers?  Well we have!  Tisch staff have been collecting for over 2 years and recently expanded, with the help of the Eco Reps, to include Tisch Library patrons.  Look for bins immediately on your right as you exit the Cafe.  Don’t forget to check out what TerraCycle is all about at their website.

Please bring your tired, your useless, your yearning-to-be-out-of-your-house athletic shoes to the collection bin in the Tisch lobby between now and next Friday, Oct 19 at 5pm.
