http://www.blaircandy.com/candybars1.html> The best thing about candy bars will always be eating them, but the fun doesn’t have to stop there. We recently came across an awesome DIY project on TerraCycle.com that shows you how to make a candy wrapper bracelet <
http://www.terracycle.ca/31?locale=en-CA> in just a few simple steps! Is it a coincidence that each bracelet requires 24 rectangles formed from chocolate wrappers, and our new Custom Candy Bar Box <
http://www.blaircandy.com/custom-candy-bar-box.html> comes with 24 candy bars of your choice? Well…yes, it probably is a coincidence! But we think it’s a rather nice one.
We don’t recommend that you try to eat all 24 candy bars <
http://www.blaircandy.com/candybars1.html> in one sitting – afterward you won’t feel up for much of anything, let alone crafts! But we think it will be deliciously possible to have a new bracelet by spring, and much sooner than that if you ask friends to open their candy bars <
http://www.blaircandy.com/candybars1.html> carefully and share their wrappers with you.
While this is primarily a colorfully creative project, I can’t help but be reminded of a belief that many people hold – that the energy put into something becomes the energy of the end product. For example, if you angrily make a pot of soup that you didn’t really want to make, the soup might taste bad or bring about an upset stomach. Similarly, if you take something from its rightful owner, that object will bring you ill fortune one day as it is now ‘charged’ with negative energy. The good news is that energy works the other way, too! And what better positive energy resource is there than candy <
http://www.blaircandy.com/> ?! Imagine how light, bright and positively charged a bracelet will be when made from the wrappers of 24 thoroughly-enjoyed candy bars. It might just be the happiest bracelet on Earth!
If a candy wrapper bracelet isn’t a style statement you’re ready to make, you can still make a difference. TerraCycle offers an upcycling program sponsored by Nestle Canada – the Chocolate Wrapper Brigade <
http://www.terracycle.ca/brigades/8-Chocolate-Wrapper-Brigade-Sponsored-by-Nestl-Canada> . For every empty wrapper you send in for upcycling into an ingeniously useful and fun product, including tote bags and backpacks, 2 cents will also be donated to your favorite charity. Pretty sweet!
18/2/11 - Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bajo el claim "Prepará, Tomá y Hacé", Tang lanzó su nueva campaña de comunicación anual. El concepto resume la propuesta de la marca en relación al target infantil y el cuidado del medio ambiente. Mediante la campaña, la marca invita a los chicos a un nuevo ritual: “Prepará tu Tang; tomalo y hacé algo para cuidar el medio ambiente”. .
"Recurriendo al empowerment y a su deseo de expresarse, Tang se vincula con los chicos a través de la temática ambiental, en la cual ellos son los más interesados y los que más conocimientos tienen sobre la misma", comenta Oliver Lehmann, de la marca. Y agrega: "nos proponemos lograr un compromiso de todos, tanto de la marca como del público infantil para el cuidado del medio ambiente." La campaña se podrá ver en televisión abierta y cable e incluye presencia en radio, Internet y vía pública.
Por otro lado, durante todo el 2011, Terracycle con el patrocinio de la marca desarrollará un programa de reciclaje. Los consumidores pueden unirse a una "Brigada Tang", juntar sobres y enviarlos gratuitamente por correo para su posterior reciclado. El material recolectado será utilizado para la fabricación de merchandising y de cestos de basura; los cestos serán entregados por Tang de forma gratuita a distintas escuelas públicas del país. Además por cada sobre enviado, se donarán $0,10 a Espacio Agua, una organización sin fines de lucro que tiene como principal objetivo el cuidado del agua del planeta. Como alternativa, cada brigada puede optar por seleccionar otra organización sin fines de lucro o una escuela para enviar sus donaciones.
"Prepará, Tomá y Hacé" es el slogan de la acción que desarrollará la marca a lo largo del año. Apunta a la concientización desde los primeros años de vida
Tang lanzó una nueva acción de marketing y publicidad que dirigirá la comunicación de la marca a lo largo de 2011.
Bajo el claim "Prepará, Tomá y Hacé", se resume estratégicamente la propuesta de la marca en relación al target infantil y
el cuidado del medio ambiente con un un nuevo ritual: prepará tu Tang; tomalo y hacé algo para cuidar el medio ambiente.
"Recurriendo al empowerment y a su deseo de expresarse, TANG se vincula con los chicos a través de la temática ambiental, en la cual ellos son los más interesados y los que más conocimientos tienen sobre la misma", comentó Oliver Lehmann, de Tang.
Por otro lado, agregó que se proponen lograr un compromiso de todos, tanto de la marca como del público infantil, para el cuidado del medio ambiente.
La nueva campaña de comunicación que podrá verse en televisión abierta y cable y que incluye presencia en radio, Internet y vía pública invita a la acción.
Por otro lado, a partir de febrero y durante 2011, Terracycle, con el patrocinio de TANG, desarrollará un programa de reciclaje.
Los consumidores pueden unirse a una "Brigada Tang", juntar sobres y enviarlos gratuitamente por correo para su posterior reciclado.
El material recolectado será utilizado para la fabricación de merchandising y de cestos de basura; los cestos serán entregados por Tang de forma gratuita a distintas escuelas públicas del país. Además por cada sobre enviado, se donarán $0,10 a Espacio Agua, una organización sin fines de lucro que tiene como principal objetivo el cuidado del agua del planeta.
La campaña en medios arrancó el pasado 31/01/11 a nivel nacional con televisión abierta, de paga, apoyos locales en exteriores y un plan de cine itinerante con funciones al aire libre en diferentes ciudades del país.
Uno de los principales programas del movimiento es la alianza que Tang tiene con TerraCycle, invitando a todos lo niños a ser parte activa del Movimiento, recolectando y enviando sus empaques para que sean re-utilizados y transformados nuevamente en artículos.
Recycling isn’t new to Mountain View. For the past two-and-a-half years, the school has been part of the TerraCycle Program. Through this program the school recycles empty Capri Sun containers, empty Lunchables containers, dried-up pens, markers, glue sticks and cell phones. Howe said the previous recycling practice has helped with the contest.

Last night I went to hear Tom Szaky <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Szaky> , the first lecturer in the University of the Arts’ nifty new series, Periodic Lectures on Design <
http://www.uarts.edu/about/8260.html> , and I learned many new things, including:
• Trenton-based TerraCycle is the only company with a license from Coke and Pepsi to package poop in those companies’ 20 oz. bottles.
• Szaky filled the first 100 bottles of the worm-poop plant food that got TerraCycle off the ground from his Princeton dorm room, using funnels to guide the, er, matter and hairdryers to heat-seal the labels.
• Juice pouches are indestructible, which is why they can’t be recycled. Quilt them together and they create a nifty fabric. TerraCycle also breaks down the pouches and uses their base elements to make pavers, and they’re developing a line of rolling luggage made from juice pouches that will debut at Wal-Mart in six months.
• Everything on its own is recyclable. So, a garbage can full of yogurt cups, candy wrappers, toothpaste tubes, and juice pouches is not recyclable. Separate the different waste streams and they’re all recyclable on their own. Check out the 36 different wastestreams <
http://www.terracycle.net/brigades> TerraCycle collects (and will help you collect) in the U.S.
• It’s possible to wear jeans, a t-shirt, sweatshirt, and a John Deere cap and still come off as totally brilliant. (Darn kids upending the social order.)
Next up in the series is Susan Szenasy, Editor-in-Chief of
Metropolis magazine. Reserve <
http://corzocenter.ticketleap.com/> your spot for the March 1 lecture—it’s free, but seating is limited!
