ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

HEALTH: No idle mother: Sheetal Patcheak's crusade to reduce engine idling in Washtenaw County

TerraCycle Include USA juice pouches (CapriSun) juice pouches (Honest Kids) cheese wrappers (Kraft Cheese)
Today, Sheetal is the Michigan Green Schools Committee Coordinator for EACA. With the steadfast support of Principal Leonard she continues to battle idling. She also established schoolwide in-classroom paper and plastic recycling. Every month she personally sorts hundreds of cheese wrappers and juice pouches for Terracycle, an upcycling service that pays for school’s trash, which they turn into new items like backpacks and birdfeeders. So far the school has earned about $200 that they plan to use for a wildlife garden.
