Recycled fashion, zero waste touted for Sustainable Living expo

“We’re trying to avoid generating waste by looking at alternatives,” said Michael Brown, director of the Ecology Action Center in Normal, one of the sponsors of the event. There will be a nonrecyclable bag of potato chips in vendors’ lunches but the bags will be collected by a local group and sent to Terracycle, a company that makes products from items that can’t be recycled.
