Garnier, a naturally inspired skincare and haircare brand, announced that Winston-Salem State University received a Garnier Green Garden made from recycled beauty and personal care products for the Winston-Salem community. University student Miranda Legg was named the winner of Garnier national Rinse, Recycle, Repeat campaign, created in partnership with TerraCycle and DoSomething.org.
Launched in March 2018, the goal of Rinse, Recycle, Repeat was to convey the importance of recycling beauty and personal care waste containers. From the competition, over 20,000 beauty and personal care containers were collected.
Legg competed against entrants from 49 other schools throughout the month of April. As a result of her efforts, a new Garnier Green Garden was donated to Simon’s Green Acre Community Garden, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The revamped garden includes raised beds, picnic tables, park benches and waste receptacles.
In addition to the Simon’s installation, Garnier has donated 11 other Garnier Green Gardens throughout the country. These gardens have engaged hundreds of thousands of individuals in the surrounding communities and many of them grow fruit and vegetables for local schools in impoverished areas where children do not have access to nutritional lunches.
