Six Flags Offers Discount

Six Flags Offers DiscountsKraft and Six Flags are offering discounts at parks across the country for visitors who bring in specially marked string cheese packaging for recycling. The packaging will be sent to my company, TerraCycle, and made into plastic products including plastic lumber and plastic pavers. Visitors who bring specially marked Kraft String Cheese packaging to Six Flags will receive $15 off general admission any day of the week. Polly-O packaging (only available on the East Coast) is good for $15 off general admission every day, or a free kids ticket with purchase of general admission on a weekday. Six Flags and Kraft have teamed up with TerraCycle to collect and recycle the cheese packaging. Normally, this packaging is not recyclable in most areas of the country , and this is the first time it will be recycled! TerraCycle will make the packaging into eco-friendly plastic products including trash cans, flower pots, plastic plywood, park benches, and picnic tables. Visitors can continue recycling packaging that is usually non-recyclable by signing up for TerraCycle’s Brigade program, through which these items are collected. For every piece of trash that a Brigade sends in, they will receive two points, which can be put towards a specific charity gift or converted to cash and donated to the participant’s charity of choice.

Esta serie británica obtuvo premios como el EMMY, el Bafta y el Grierson Fiduciano. Descubrir cómo los malos hábitos y el estilo de vida pueden afectar el cuerpo y hacerlo más viejo de lo que uno piensa, es la reflexión que maneja "Vidas al límite", que se presentará el día martes, producción que informará sobre los excesos y cómo ser más saludables. "Secretos del lenguaje", el miércoles, descubre cómo gesticulaciones, posturas, saludos y diferentes movimientos que tiene el ser humano en su cotidianidad, pueden decir más que una frase verbal.
