4. Sensible Portions Veggie Straws
Sensible Portions Veggie Straws are a gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, and non-GMO snack made primarily from potato starch, potato flour, corn starch, tomato paste, spinach powder, beet powder, turmeric, and salt. Sensible Portions collaborates with
TerraCycle, an organization that processes these types of materials on an industrial scale to turn them into a material that can be reused. Through a program called “snack brigades” helps consumers capture their used snack bags to get them to a TerraCycle facility.
As for these veggie straws, reviewers are reporting that they are the perfect snack for people with several food
allergies, they are much
healthier than the typical potato chip, and are deliciously
addicting. You can get six one-ounce bags for about $4.
Getting people excited about environmental issues can take a bit of strategy. Natural resource depletion, global warming, landfill waste and water contamination are topics that can be intimidating when presented to the average consumer, especially for the demographic we most hope to reach: young people and future stewards. With so much on the line for establishing sustainable infrastructures for future generations, it is important that we find ways to engage youth and make motivations for environmentalism positive and fun.

ears ago, when South Wayne elementary teacher Jina Newman signed her students up with a Trucker Buddy, there was no email, no internet. Her third-graders wrote their Trucker Buddy once a month and the trucker buddy would send them a postcard every week.
Newman would get out a map and the class would put pins where their Trucker Buddy had been.
