Looking to help save the planet, one piece of would-be trash at a time, and possibly earn a few dollars for their school and for special causes, a trio of Mercer sixth-graders made a pitch that’s caught on like wildfire. The team of Olivia Bentley, Jesse Carson and Kate Murphy formed the EcoEagles. The focus of the EcoEagles is the creation of two “brigades” through TerraCycle. One is a Drink Pouch Brigade and the second is a Candy Wrapper Brigade. Both are officially registered through TerraCycle and can earn points and/or money for the waste that they collect. The waste being collected is exactly what the brigade titles suggest, juice pouch wrappers and candy wrappers.
