Recycling Cans

Eco Fact: Every day 80 million food and drink cans end up in landfill

Recycle your food cans and you will be doing your bit to help stop them going to landfill. Rinse cans at the end of your washing up and recycle. Aluminium cans are the most cost-effective materials to recycle, so don’t waste them! Recycled aluminium from cans is used extensively to make new products.

Steel cans are also valuable and well worth recycling. They are easily separated from the aluminium with magnets at the Materials Reclamation Facility. On average, every single person in Britain uses 240 steel cans each year.

Time to meet us!!

We've been out and about this month and have attended our first show with our stand. We went the the Ardingly Spring Garden and Leisure show over the May bank holiday. The photo shows you exactly who we are from left to right Paula, Joanna and Nikki the mums behind My Eco Store.

It was a busy bank holiday weekend and we met lots of different people who were interested in our products. Our Eco Store bag went down really well and alot of postitive comments were made by people. Another great product was The Waspinator which helps to deter wasps from where you are. It's been been scientifically tested in Canada and has been proved to help stop wasps annoying you, people loved it and like the bag this is available on our website.

We will be attending The South of England Show at Ardingly on the 5th, 6th and 7th June 2008 we are in the Eco Village so why not pop along to meet us in person!

My Eco Store Presents Prizes

We have just presented prizes to winners of the Eco Summit 2008 competition held for local schools. Two pupils from the Thomas a Beckett Middle School in Worthing were the lucky winners. The competiton was organised by Tim Loughton local MP and we donated the 1st prize a Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player. The competition asked pupils to develop a slogan to advertise the Eco Media Player, we also donated a runners up prize of a My Eco Store bag and recycled pencil case.

Tim Loughton attended the presentation along with us at the schools Friday morning assembly. We were all very impressed with the great entries we received, this just goes to show how young people are getting to grips with going green.The winning slogan was "I want to go very green so I will listen to this machine" and it will be used to promote the product in the future
