Sustainability in Action

Meeting with Tim Miller, creator of Lids4Kids, was an eye-opening learning experience that helped shed some light on our Lids sorting at Joey's. While we have asked for only lids that fit a certain description in the past, we are now welcoming all lids (please pre-wash!) that fit onto bottles, milk containers and even jars! While the original cause was for prosthetic limbs, an oversupply has halted that collection. However, Tim finds purposes for 10 different lid types now that Green Team will happily sort through. And the best part- those popular yogurt lids can now be repurposed!

 Despite the wonderful efforts of local recyclers, all Joeys kids know that while recycling is good, reducing is best!
