Fayetteville Elementary students learn lesson in recycling
TerraCycle Skittles (Mars) Starburst (Mars) Capri Sun (Kraft) Include USA
Manlius (WSYR-TV) – On the final day of school, students at Fayetteville Elementary learned an important lesson – one that will likely stay with them for the rest of their lives.
On Thursday, the students collected a year’s worth of used juice boxes – thousands of them – and sent them off to Terracycle, a company that specializes in getting new uses from trash. At Terracycle, old juice pouches might become a messenger bag, Skittles wrappers might become a kite, or Starburst packing, a boom box.
Teacher Matt Titus got the ball rolling with one class and now the entire school is participating. And the kids are aware that they’re making a difference.
