In response to your suggestions, we've updated our on-line home for the eBay Green Team. We'll be sharing stories, tips, and ideas so that we can continue having conversations with one another about giving new lives to old products, what it means to live green, and much more.
So have a look around and explore the site. Then, chime in and tell us what you think! We can't wait to hear from you.
Being green has never been such a great deal. We've joined up with RecycleBank, a recycling loyalty program, to reward consumers for recycling and reusing what already exists in the world today. RecycleBank was started by two high-school friends who believed that making greener choices shouldn’t feel at all like a trade off. It should be a trade up, and so RecycleBank rewards people every step of the way. The new collaboration with us takes the RecycleBank program beyond curbside recycling and brings consumers online, offering 50 RecycleBank Points for joining eBay’s Green Team community.

As it’s grown, RecycleBank has been focused on rewarding customers for recycling – something that most people agree is a good thing for the environment. But we also found that we think alike, so we wanted to give you a window into some of their good green thinking.
This fall, you might have seen a set of advertisements that eBay ran that all ended with the “Come to think of it – eBay” tagline. When you looked at them through a green lens, many of the ads spoke to the idea that the greenest product is the one that already exists. Here's why:
Did you know I was CEO of a green business? Did you know that you are TOO? If you are conducting business in your home, recycling boxes, recycling packing material plus delivering and picking up packages in bulk, then you are helping to promote some green agendas that are good for us all.
This year, resolve to lighten the load on the landfill and the recycling bin by extending the lives of items... psst, it’ll save you money too.
