HALLOWEEN: THE SCARIEST DAY OF THE YEAR
TerraCycle Mars Include USA
Let’s face it, trick-or-treaters don’t want anything but the really sugary, bad-for-you candy, so don’t bother wracking your brain for some kind of healthy alternative. And don’t trick the poor kids, it’s just mean. Except for Hershey Kiss wrappers, most candy wrappers are not recyclable through traditional methods. But there is a solution! TerraCycle is a recycling and upcycling company that specializes in hard-to-recycle materials, including candy wrappers. Anyone can sign up for free at http://www.terracycle.net to send in their empties through the Candy Wrapper Brigade, sponsored by Mars. You’ll earn points to be used for charity gifts or donations and TerraCycle will use the wrappers to make new products, like portable speakers, tote bags and watering cans. I’d say that is a sweet deal!
