Wetumpka Elementary School received the America’s Best Brigade Award 2010 from TerraCycle for being one of the top 100 collecting schools in TerraCycle's Drink Pouch Brigade.
The local effort helped TerraCycle reach the milestone of 50 million pouches collected and $1 million paid to schools and nonprofits. TerraCycle said the total number of recycled pouches is enough to cover the Grand Canyon nine times.
The Wetumpka Elementary PTO spearheaded the project, recycling Capri Sun pouches.
Jean’s Pick of the Week (watch video): Upcycling, Recycling, and “There’s gold in them there landfills!”: I had a ball today connecting with garbage wizard Tom Szaky, CEO of Terracycle, one of the most innovative green businesses in the world. Tom delivered one of our best Here on Earth programs ever – future positive, energizing, full of hope, practical wisdom, and inspiration. He says there’s no garbage he can’t make something out of, and he proves it.
Tom Szaky, the 28-year-old founder of TerraCycle, one of the fastest growing green companies in the world, is making a business out of recycling and a name for himself as "#1 CEO in America Under 30."
Now Simpson is getting some national recognition for her volunteer efforts. She was recently named one of four finalists in the Make A Difference Mom contest being sponsored by Ziploc Brands and TerraCycle. The contest was designed to celebrate "moms around the country who are taking steps to make a difference for the environment and their communities"-a qualification that seems to fit Simpson perfectly.
In a contest that stretches nationwide, Northville resident Gina Adams-Levy is one of four finalists in TerraCycle’s “Make a Difference Mom” competition.
TerraCycle, the organization hosting the competition, is also dedicated to get people to recycle items such as pop bottles, drink pouches, candy wrappers, and plant fibers. Gina heard about the contest when she signed up for the TerraCycle brigade, and saw it posted on FaceBook. The prize for winning includes $1,500, which would go towards improving PLP, possibly by hiring some helping hands.
