FES Venture Elementary is the top state collector of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by a partnership between MOM Brands and TerraCycle. By collecting waste from its MOM Brands cereal packaging, the school has helped to divert 1.203 units of cereal bag waste from landfills.

We have become a nation of consumers. We buy stuff, throw away the packaging that all of our stuff comes in and REPEAT. We are literally running out of landfills. In order to save our Earth we have to decrease our carbon footprint. Recycling the packaging from all of our stuff is a great way to start. Terracycle is the world's leader in upcycling and recycling previously non-recyclable post-consumer waste that would otherwise be destined for landfills.Terracycle has a complete line of affordable innovative products that were re-purposed from used packaging and products.

A reminder that you can recycle your baby food pouches (and other waste as well) with TerraCycle. Their program makes it very easy and you also have the opportunity to earn various rewards! Check out their website and discover the different programs they offer. Every little bit helps!

For the third year, St. Francis Xavier School students are working to recycle small electronics, ink cartridges, glue stick containers, crayons and other items to save them from the landfill and promote good stewardship of the Earth.

Tiffany Threadgould is living a DIY life. The Chief Design Junkie at TerraCycle, an international waste management company headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey, grew up recycling. So when it came time to furnish her post-college New York City apartment on the cheap, upcycling was a natural next step. “I was just taking cast offs from the street and making things from found objects,” Threadgould says. “It wasn’t really environmental — it was more about cost.” - See more at: http://www.metro.us/newyork/lifestyle/home/2014/09/14/diy-design-try-upcycle-furniture-project-terracycle/#sthash.hj1PWGp4.dpuf

After transforming more than 1,500 pounds of recycled personal care waste into a one-of-a-kind Garnier Green Garden in Harlem and overhauling a garden at a special needs school in the Bronx, Garnier and TerraCycle took their eco efforts on the road with the “Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign to reward one recipient with a new community garden. After a public voting period, The ReFresh Project of New Orleans has been named the winner.   - See more at: http://www.happi.com/issues/2014-09-01/view_breaking-news/where-should-our-garden-grow-campaign#sthash.DAmBc8zW.dpuf

Many of us wonder if there is more we can do to help the environment. But Owen Zacherau, a fourth grader at Village Elementary School (VES), put his concern into action by running a GoGo Squeez Brigade throughout last school year. He collected over 1000 of the snack pouches and sent them to TerraCycle to be recycled into other products. And with the credits he earned, he donated to charities which help the environment and other schoolchildren. TerraCycle was started by Tom Szaky in 2002 while he was a freshman at Princeton University. The company's first office was at 20 Nassau Street. Two years later, it relocated to Trenton to be closer to Bordentown, where Rutgers University's EcoComplex conducts research on "green" business development and alternative energy innovation.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world, and the city of New Orleans has taken action to collect the incessant waste. The international recycling and upcycling company TerraCycle, Trenton, New Jersey, launched its first citywide cigarette butt recycling receptacles program in British Columbia, making New Orleans the first U.S. city to participate in a large-scale recycling effort, according to TerraCycle.

Forget “Outlander.” “Portrait of Jennie” (tonight at 8 on TCM) finds a struggling artist (Joseph Cotten) smitten with a mysterious girl (Jennifer Jones) who seems to be from another time in this 1948 classic partially filmed in Boston. This sounds sticky and gross: The gang at Terracycle tries to recycle gum on “Human Resources” (tonight at 10 on Pivot).
