Two florists in Surrey,
B.C. are urging people to recycle their own vases and baskets by
returning the items to their shops.
EH Florist of South Surrey, B.C. introduces the campaign on its website:
“One of the things we hear is that people have vases, baskets or ceramics from
flowers they have received piling up in their basements, under their sinks, in
closets… and they feel guilty just throwing them out,” says Lorraine Corbett,
owner of EH Florist. “It’s time to help out and get these glass, wicker and
ceramic containers reused or recycled! So, in exchange for people turning in
their old stuff, we’re giving out green plants to bring more ‘green’ into homes.
Tracy Bell owner of La Belle Fleur Floral Boutique adds “This is simply an
extension of our in house recycling programs and commitment to corporate
responsibility by using products like biodegradable cellophane and cleaning
products.”
The local newspaper, Surrey Now also reported on the story.
