Did you know billions of drink pouches are thrown out each year? TerraCycle collects these discarded pouches and turns them into cool products. Sponsored by the drink pouch makers themselves (CapriSun and Kool-Aid) these groovy pencil case holders will be the talk at the lunch table. You can get your school involved too. Collect drink pouches, turn them in and collect cash for your school. Go to www.terracycle.net and find out more. Pencil cases starting at $2. (TerraCycle makes lunch boxes too. See page XXX)
Made from upcycled juice pouches, this Terracycle lunch bag is an unusual twist on the traditional insulated lunch box. TerraCycle diverts tons of waste juice pouches annually and donates 2 cents to a charity or nonprofit for each pouch collected. $13.99 www.terracycle.net.
Keep your pens and pencils organized in this case made entirely from drink pouches that have been stitched together. Used pouches are cleaned and sewn to make these pencil cases. TerraCycle is an upcycling and recycling company that collects and reuses non-recyclable trash. Buy it for $2.49 at www.terracycleshop.com.
So you're thinking you'd like to help out. Money's not an option in this economy. Time is in short supply, too.
Even so, there is a way to help funnel funds and educational equipment to schools while cleaning up the local environment.
Recycle.
Yes, the schools want your trash.
