Mom.me: Eco-friendly lunchboxes for the back-to-school set

capri-sun TerraCycle Include USA
Those Capri Sun juice pouches your kids have been sucking down all summer long are the makings of a lunchbox. TerraCycle recycles – or upcycles, as it's come to be known – traditionally nonrecyclable waste (drink pouches, chip bags, toothbrushes and more) into a variety of consumer products. Children and youths can also start a TerraCycle Brigade to collect trash, send it in, and earn cash for their school. For every piece of packaging the company receives, the brigade will get two points, which can be used toward a charity gift or converted to money and used for a charity or the school ( www.terracycle.net ). Win-win, right?
