One of the Green Team's big projects involves "upcycling" through TerraCycle, Inc. This company collects colorful trash items, such as juice pouches, chip bags and cookie wrappers, and creates backpacks, pencil cases, folders and other fun products. TerraCycle pays schools for each item they send in. So far, the Lions Park Green Team has kept the following out of landfills: 10,012 juice pouches, 180 cookie wrappers, 2,316 chip bags and 62 tape dispensers. The school has earned $251.94 from these efforts. The Green Team will vote on how to use the funds.
