ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Students’ recycling helps environment

capri-sun school TerraCycle Include USA
Teachers at Lounsberry Hollow Middle School used to see a lot of used Capri Sun drink pouches get thrown away. Now the school earns 2 cents for every one of those pouches they collect and return to a company called TerraCycle, which makes affordable, eco-friendly products from packaging waste. The schools use the program not only as a fundraising opportunity but as a way to educate and inspire their students. Teacher and program organizer Barbara Mons-chauer said, “Anytime we can teach children to help the environment and make them aware of impact I feel we should take advantage of that situation. The two cents back is a bonus.”
