What happens to all those.....

Before you go and make a blanket statement like that, it might be worth checking to see if it's actually, like, correct.

Thank you jobob, for defending my honor

I just think it's cool.

There are only so many energy bar wrappers I can keep as a spare patch for the tube. It would be good if clubs and events do this because at that scale $0.02 X number of bars consumed on a ride like Top Hat, MS 150s, ALC .... could really clean up (pun intended).

Cool! I'm glad that other companies do the recycling (and donating) thing also!!! I eat Clif bars, so now I know to save my wrappers.

I do the GU Stash your Trash thing. They give you one GU packet for every 10 you send in. We've saved up almost 200 now (when you send in 200 they give you extra cool stuff I hear). Not that it's about the free stuff, but it makes me feel good gathering up all the empty packets that I see on the ground. Sure, it's kinda gross picking up others trash, but that's what hand sanitizer is for. I watched a marathon in November and picked up about 50 alone that day (gloved hand and all). I know people thought I was a freak, but I'm not only saving the environment- I just got 5 free GUs.
