Cindy Rubel, a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist in Chapel Hill, #2721, will be offering free seated chair massage at Whole Foods Market. A graduate of the Body Therapy Institute in Siler City, North Carolina, Cindy has been practicing massage for nearly 6 years. She offers Swedish massage, Hot Stone therapy, pre and post-natal massage and Integrative Reflexology in her Chapel Hill office. Massage is a wonderful way to maintain health and balance. It provides not only a "time-out" to relax and rejuvenate, but can also revitalize and promote healing in overstressed muscles and for overworked minds.

Recycling

Cell Phones
We collect cell phones in our exit lobby to support the efforts of The Family Violence Prevention Center of Orange County. Just drop them off in the designated bin.

Batteries
We collect alkaline batteries with the support of Orange County Recycling. Just drop them off in the blue bins.

Paper Bags
We are very happy to recycle your paper bags. We also encourage you to pass them on to The PTA Thrift Shop—located two doors down from us. The PTA has an ongoing need for clean and dry paper bags in all sizes. They especially like our straw handled bags. We will give you 10 cents credit toward your purchase for each bag that you reuse when you checkout.

Is A Bag Necessary?

According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year. Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most often found in coastal clean-ups, according to the nonprofit Center for Marine Conservation. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute.

According to the American Forest and paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.

Plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photodegrade — breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways entering the food web when animals accidentally ingest. Use bags made from recyclable elements to minimize this impact.
