You all already know how important I feel it is to do our part to make the environment a big priority in our lives and in the lives of our children. I mean we all want there to be an actual planet here for future generations, don't we? So, in my quest for a better environment I came across what may just be the coolest program....TerraCycle.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TerraCycle. I can talk anyone's ear off about TerraCycle! I am looking forward to this show: Saturday, August 21, starting at 7pm-my DVR is already ready to record, I will probably also be watching it live!!! TerraCycle is an excellent program/company. Check out the show! FYI: You can follow TerraCycle on Facebook and on Twitter!

Back for season two, National Geographic channel's "Garbage Moguls" aims to do more than just turn doggy junk into doggy toys. TerraCycle wants to "upcycle" your mind.
One man's trash is another man's ... idea for a TV show?
Garbage Moguls, the show where one little company turns trash into "upcycled" consumer goods, is back for season two. Episodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 will air on the National Geographic channel on Saturday, Aug. 21 from 7:00-11 p.m.
I have written about TerraCycle before… They are an innovative company that takes “Garbage” like wrappers, juice box containers (like Capri Sun, I could never get those open without making a mess as a kid) and take them and make something new with them without remanufacturing the materials.
This Saturday on the National Geographic channel they are airing a 3 part documentary about the company and some of the creative projects they have embarked on. TerraCycle is led by Princeton University drop-out and self defined “worm poop connoisseur” Tom Szaky, the show follows TerraCycle’s team of young “eco-capitalists” as they brainstorm, argue over, go dumpster diving for, and eventually create new products that help solve America’s waste problem.
Thanks to cable and satellite television, you have more choices than ever for watching shows that cater to their own personal interests. It used to be rare to catch a television show that highlights the environment and green living in an entertaining way. Luckily, there are now several networks who regularly feature green television shows that entertain, inform and inspire. A few of the must see green television shows to watch this season are outlined below.

This is why I was so excited to learn about TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.net/> . TerraCycle pays schools, families, and communities to collect non-recyclable waste, which is then upcycled or repurposed to make fun, eco-friendly products like bird feeders, tote bags and cosmetic cases! Things like juice boxes and soda bottles, and now they have two new programs that are more for Moms with little ones - these programs are free fundraisers that pay 2 cents for every used piece of diaper packaging or used baby food pouches! If everyone in your Mom's group was to save these items - which very, very few areas normally recycle, think about how much trash we could save out of the landfills, and you can even make a little money towards projects. It's super easy to sign up for, and when you think about it, saving this packaging for a once a month drop off with your group doesn't take up that much room in our homes. And when Terracycle has collected enough of these materials, they will be upcycling them into unique bibs and diaper bags - how cool is that?
If you don't know who TerraCycle is, they are an awesome company that is doing their part for the earth and non-profit organizations. They collect certain trash items from groups who save and save them. TerraCycle makes new products our of the trash AND pays the groups who collect the trash. It's a win-win situation!
