TerraCycle and Colgate are both offering their own FREE curriculums; Colgate seeking to teach kids how to keep their mouths clean and TerraCycle seeking to teach kids how to Outsmart Waste! Both curriculums can be used at school or in the home and both meet national education standards.
TerraCycle’s brand new curriculum series, which will be released three times a year, was developed by the Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education and the first release focuses on teaching kids of all ages groups, from K-12, about Natural Laws & Principals of the Materials Cycle.
TerraCycle loves us to recycle, no matter how we do it! We can join their brigades and mail our trash to them to be upcycled into products or we can use our trash to make new products of our own!
Remember the review I did recently of
TerraCycle? Love them and all their eco-friendly products! The boys are still fighting over their juice box lunch bag and pencil case!
I wanted to share something fun TerraCycle and Colgate are doing. They are working together on a curriculum. Check it out...
You all have heard of
Terracycle, haven't you? If you haven't, listen up!

Terracycle <http://www.terracycle.net/> is always coming up with fun and cool ways to recycle, but they also have come up with a way (actually 6 ways) Moms can go green, reduce waste at home, AND raise money for their kids school and/or favorite charity. Terracycle realizes Moms have enough things to think about without wondering how to reduce the amount of waste leaving their home and heading to the local landfill. So they have come up with six new Brigades (read as free collection programs!) to make it easier than ever for parents to eliminate waste from their home while raising money for a school or charity of their choice. All you need to do is collect and send in the packaging you discard every day, TerraCycle pays the postage and contributes two cents per unit of waste returned! Participating Products include Colgate, Ziploc, Country Crock, Neosporin, Aveeno and Many Many More!
