Origins Recycling Event: Beauty CAN Last Forever

If you’ve been reading reLYME for any length of time, you probably know by now that I’m gung-ho for a eco-conscious lifestyle! Well, here’s yet another reason for me to get excited…and you to get involved!
Starting today, Origins stores will begin accepting all of your empty beauty product containers from any brand as part of their new recycling initiative for Earth Month. (Yes, any brand. Not just Origins!)
And, in select stores (scroll to the bottom, please!), the first 100 people to return empty containers will receive a deluxe sample of A Perfect World Intensely Hydrating Body Cream. Of course, you’ll have to call your nearest Origins location for more info!

Also, Origins is also inviting bloggers and Origins fans to share event info and pictures of their beauty recyclables:
Here’s what you can do:
-
♥Upload images to the Origins Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Origins/19777183712
♥Post images on Flickr, make sure to tag all photos with “Origins Trash Talk”
♥Tweet to your green heart’s delight using hashtag #OriginsTrashTalk
Here’s my contribution SO far. I still have more cleaning to do!:

Your good deeds won’t go unnoticed! For every new Facebook Fan and every image (of your long-forgotten beauty empties) that’s uploaded to Flickr and tagged “Origins Trash Talk” the brand will plant a tree in your honor.

It’s always good to hear about efforts like this — every company that does it helps encourage others to do the same.
What a great idea!
I wonder if they will do this in the UK at all?
