Recently, the two clubs have teamed up to introduce new, specially marked recycling bins  in the main cafeteria and the satellite cafeteria for students to recycle gum packages, bottle caps, juice pouches and chip bags.  The school is recycling these items through a recycling company called TerraCycle. “They [TerraCycle] use the bags to make new products such as back packs, pencil pouches, garden fences, biodegradable fiber pots, and pencil pouches,” explained Mrs. Coons.  In addition to being good for the environment, Shen is also making money from their recycling efforts.  For every item recycled with TerraCycle the school receives .02 cents.  Shen is recycling the bottle caps with Aveda, the hair care and beauty products manufacturer.
