Usually, when we dispose of our clothes, bed sheets or towels, where they end up is an afterthought. Did you know that 10 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills every year? Coyuchi, the luxury organic and sustainable home textile manufacturer is attempting to tackle the problem through a new subscription program called Coyuchi for Life that allows consumers to purchase sheets, duvets, and towels without the worry of damaging the environment. Pay anywhere from $5 to $42 a month, depending on what subscription you get. According to the company, its Coyuchi for Life service accomplishes three things:

1. GO AFTER A MEASURABLE ISSUE WITH NO EASY ANSWERS

There is no easy way to recycle sheets and towels. Rags eventually get thrown out, and up to 80% of donations to Goodwill end up in the landfill.  ‘Coyuchi for Life’ reclaims used sheets and towels, renews them when possible, and recycles unsalvageable textiles into new yarn.

2. PROVIDE ADDITIONAL POSITIVE BENEFITS FROM THE FARM TO YOUR BED

While redirecting and keeping materials out of landfills, Coyuchi home linens also meet the highest standards for organic cotton (GOTS-certified) and use only natural dyes and detergents for processing—keeping harsh chemicals out of groundwater, rivers, and oceans from the farm to people’s homes.

3. MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO BUY IN

Who doesn’t love the luxurious feel of new sheets and towels? 60% of Americans buy new sheets and towels every year and 85% subscribe to at least one recurring subscription service. With ‘Coyuchi for Life,’ starting at $5 per month for a towel set, consumers can delight in fresh, sustainable linens for the home—guilt-free.

Coyuchi for Life is the first service where customers can recycle old sheets, towels and duvet covers. Users can sign up to receive new bed and bathroom linens every six, 12 or 24 months. When they’re due for a fresh set, customers simply return their old sheets, duvet covers and towels to be recycled and renewed, in return for a brand new set. How easy is that? Plus, we all love a nice, brand new set of sheets.

‘Squid Game’ debuts a new Google-based game ahead of season 2
The game replicates the 'red light, green light' game from the first season
Squid Game Season 2 Teaser

The second season of Netflix's Squid Game, which was a massive phenomenon following its first season, is finally almost here. Now, ahead of the second season's release on Dec. 26, Googling Squid Game will get you a fun way to pass a few minutes.

Netflix partnered with Google on the game, which will appear if you tap the brown envelope that appears on the bottom of the screen. The game is a replication of the "red light, green light" came from the show's first season. By pressing the blue circles, you advance six players in pink suits while Young-Hee's head is turned. Your players must stop before she turns around, and if they don't one of them will be eliminated. Thankfully, they don't get brutally shot down and left to lay there like they do on the show.

The era of Jack Ryan may be over, but Reacher is carrying on as one of the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

But for Prime Video, Alan Ritchson has stepped into the role of Jack Reacher, a former member of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps who drifts from town to town and takes justice into his own hands when the local law enforcement isn't enough. While it hasn't been nominated for any Emmy Awards yet, Reacher has seen some recognition at the Saturn Awards with a nomination for Best Streaming Action & Adventure Series.

Prime Video didn't waste any time before renewing Reacher for a third season last year. And while new episodes are still several months away, we're sharing everything we know about Reacher season 3.

The cast of Severance

Remember when you were growing up and could expect your favorite TV series to start a new season every September? Yeah, that's not happening often anymore. The schedule release is erratic and many shows take at least two years to come out with new episodes. With a new year comes the opportunity to run through the calendar and see which personal favorite is finally returning from hiatus.

The returning TV shows of 2025 include the second season of genre-specific series such as The Last of Us and Andor. Other popular shows that came out in 2024 and will return in 2025 are Hacks and The Bear.
