From Swedish dishcloths to resealable silicone food bags and reusable coffee pods, there is no shortage of ways to transform your kitchen into a green utopia. However, one element that often flies under the consciousness radar is the footprint of our cookware.
In honor of Earth Month, ceramic cookware company Caraway is launching a recycling initiative called Re-Store Your Kitchen to help keep older but still usable cookery out of landfills.
The initiative is powered by Earth911, a recycling database, and the premise is simple: Customers who purchase new cookery from Caraway are provided with information about where they can donate or recycle their old pots and pans. Shoppers enter their zip code on the Caraway recycling page and the site aggregates all the centers within a few dozen miles that would take the old kitchenware, along with their address, hours, and phone number.

PREMIER BANK’S KINDNESS MOVEMENT SURPASSES $500,000 IN COMMITMENTS TO LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Youngstown, OH (December 17, 2020) – As part of their new movement designed to foster kindness, “
Powered By (kind) People. Fueled By You.” Premier Bank has committed to more than $535,000 in donations benefitting 75+ of the Bank’s community partners who share their dedication and passion for spreading kindness, doing good and making our communities stronger.
“As the holiday season shines upon us, we are more inspired than ever to give back to our local communities and spread kindness in the places that we call home,” said Vince Liuzzi, EVP, Chief Banking Officer, Premier Bank. “There’s no better way to celebrate the true meaning of the season than by giving thanks and lending a helping hand to the community partners who provide vital services to those in need.”
Must be the season of giving. Many organizations are awarding grants or receiving grants. Following is a roundup, beginning with the Foellinger Foundation, which gave more than $3 million for early childhood and family development in Allen County:
âThese organizations reflect the Foundationâs focus on supporting children and families in Allen County,â said Ed Kominowski, foundation president. âThe Foundationâs strategy is to support effective nonprofits emphasizing clients with the most economic need and the least opportunity. We are grateful to these nonprofit organizations that provide crucial services in our community. Their dedication helps improve the lives of area children and families.â
