I love the company, Terracycle! They collect old food packaging and plastic bottles and transform them into all kinds of fantastically useful items that you can buy on their website. Here’s the kicker: You can sign up to become part of a “brigade” where you or your school/church/community, can collect old wrappers, bottles, juice boxes etc and send them back to Terracycle in a pre-paid envelope and they will donate a few cents per wrapper/beverage container, to your favorite charity or school! Talk about closing the cycle and keeping all this waste out of playgrounds and landfills. It’s a genius idea for a large school as the kids can get involved and can even help to put money back into the school. Check it out www.terracycle.net
Don’t forget to have a look at some of our exclusive offers this month. We’re really excited to be able to offer you discounts on some of our favorite products.
I have gotten our school set up with the wonderful program! The kids LOVE it. I have a big box set up out side my classroom and all the kids from the entire school put their juice pouches, cookie wrappers, and yogurt cups in it. It is really cool. After I signed up for it I saw a little special about them on the show G-Word on Planet Green.
