TerraCycle
Upcycling and recycling, this company has some products that are just uber neat. Making eco-friendly products from the upcycling and recycling of common everyday items which otherwise would be tossed into landfills.
These items are great for families and kids. Coolers made from recycled chip bags or from Capri Sun juice pouches, even portable mini-speakers. How cool is that? If you’re looking for a hostess gift I would certainly suggest checking here because TerraCycle really offers unique products.
If you want to go a step farther and introduce these methods to your kids then do not overlook their DIY upcycling projects that can be done together. Family time! TerraCycle goes beyond this with a wide variety of gifts – gifts for anyone!
I personally adore the TerraCycle MP3 Speakers are just the neatest things, upcycled (of course) from candy wrappers and/or chip wrappers. Cost? Not insanely priced. You can purchase the speakers for $13.99.

How to Use Tweetgrid for a Twitter Party
This next giveaway is packed full of awesome stuff that is fun for both moms and kids as well as good for the environment courtesy of Terracycle. TerraCycle is an awesome company that is reducing waste by finding creative ways to use materials most of us would think of as garbage. One man's trash is another man's treasure right?
Hi 2Boys+1Girl=OneCrazyMom readers, Teen here and I thought I’d do a review and host a giveaway for you guys….
If you know, us Americans throw away more than 1,460 pounds of trash per person per year and to think that’s just one person, now think around 300 million people times 1460 pounds equal around 4,380,000,000 pounds a day and that’s low end estimates there are more people in America and more than 6 billion in the world. The United States produces more than 25% of all trash in the world. We recycle only 2% or less of our trash, that’s pathetic! I found a great company called TerraCycle and they are on the right track with “upcycling” it not only reduces waste but reuses things we have used previously and turns them into objects that we could use for days to come.
I’ve been looking for portable speakers for a while, when I’m with my friends or outside practicing soccer skills, I need speakers that are easy to move around unlike other speakers that are big, bulky and need to be plugged in or run on batteries.
