Classroom Rap

The Sandy Valley High School Science Club is embarking on a recycling project called the "TerraCycle Recycling Brigade." The science club will collect used and empty Carpri-Sun pouches, Elmers Glue containers (both sticks and bottles), Plastic Baggies (like Ziploc), Cookie Wrappers (like Nabisco, Grandma's and Oreo's) and old cell phones. All items donated will be counted and turned into the TerraCycle company, who will in turn pay the school for every item sent in. This helps divert trash from the landfill and earns for a SV Science Club Scholarship and field-trips.

TerraCycle Tote Bag Giveaway, ends 10/11

I was recently introduced to TerraCycle, an eco-friendly company that "upcycles" would-be trash into products like bags, backpacks, lunch boxes, pencil cases, coolers, and more.  What a great concept!  These products are unique and sure to be a conversation starter.  Recently the TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigrade Progam reached a huge milestone by saving 50 million drink pouches from being put in landfills and contributing one MILLION dollars to schools and non-profit organizations!
