I love getting creative with lunch and don’t like a whole lot of extra packaging for my kiddos. One thing my girls like is muffins. Entenmann’s Little Bites are easy and fun and a great addition to my kiddos lunch box! We were sent some fun products and tips to share! Little Bites “Recycle…Reuse…Replenish” Fully Recyclable Lunch Tips: Recycle

• Check-it: look for numbers and recycling symbols on plastics to know what types get reused
• Not sure what to do with your Little Bites pouches? Now you can recycle them with the TerraCycle program and sign up for your school if they are not already. Check out what other lunch items TerraCycle recycles here.

Reuse

• Put your sandwich in reusable lunchbox container to take home and use over again
• Before you toss anything away, stop to think about ways you might be able to use it again.  TerraCycle’s team of designers makes products out of wrappers and packaging.  Check out the website for ideas.

Replenish

• Have any leftovers from lunch? Before you throw away, make sure to check out what biodegradable foods can be brought back home to be added to a compost pile
• Make a compost at home! Be sure to include the three basic ingredients: Browns (dead leaves, branches, twigs, cardboard, newspaper), Greens (grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds) and Water to make an effective outdoor composting area.  Check out more info from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) here.

Trois écoles de la Communauté de Communes des Terrasses et Vallée de l’Aveyron s’étaient engagées dans l’opération pilote «améliorons le tri sélectif à l’école». Pour la 3e année, les écoles de Bioule et Montricoux, poursuivaient l’opération pilote. L’école de Nègrepelisse était la nouvelle venue dans la démarche. Le Syndicat départemental des déchets de Tarn-et-Garonne (SDD 82), en partenariat avec le CPIE Midi-Quercy, a poursuivi ainsi ses actions de sensibilisation : la prévention et la réduction des volumes des déchets demeurant son objectif principal pour les années à venir.
