Elisa Mercando of Belle Mead models the 1st place Upper School team design from the Stuart Country Day School “green” fashion show on January 14th, 2011. The dress was crafted from 7 different packs of playing cards, board game pieces and boxes, an old sheet, old buttons, plastic balls from a children’s ball house jungle, yarn, and ribbon. A Lower School team made the accessories. Other members of this team of 10th graders include Nicole Starke of East Windsor and Sara McArthur of Hopewell. The dress will be modeled at the annual Spring Auction, “See How Our Garden Grows” on April 2, 2011 at The Hyatt Regency Princeton. It will also be on display in The TerraCycle Store in Palmer Square through the end of February.

Eco-friendly students at Cape Cod Hill School in New Sharon are collecting food waste off lunch trays to make their own compost and they are collecting empty juice pouches, chip bags and cookie wrappers for Terracycle, a nationwide program that pays schools to collect non-recyclable waste that is converted to other products. So far, the project has made more than $500. Mt. Blue Regional School District board members this week heard from teachers Katy Perry and Patricia Murray and Principal Cheryl Pike on the growing environmental activism. Working on the Terracycle recycling project are, from left, Colton Nason, Hunter Robbins, Brianna Jackson, Ben Christopher, Dawson Adams and Addisyn Davis.

Many people have a very clear idea of what "recyclable" looks like, and many products are helpfully marked with the symbol of three arrows in perpetual triangular circulation. The meaning is clear — once used, recyclable products can be reused almost infinitely. But what of the non-recyclables? Do they, too, have purpose, or are they fated for the landfill, never to be used again?
That's where
TerraCycle comes in. On the Mary Baldwin campus, it is proving to be a force to be reckoned with.
A small, up-and-coming company founded in 2001, TerraCycle makes use of products that are often challenging to recycle. From ink cartridges to digital cameras, Scotch Tape to candy wrappers, TerraCycle's eco-friendly approach takes several of these products to create items like all-purpose cleaners (made from soda bottles), bike pouches (made from energy bar wrappers), and backpacks (made from cookie wrappers). It is a creative approach that is environmentally friendly, efficient, and economical, shrinking the amount of trash sent into landfills in a way that has people paying attention.

Why is upcycling good for the environment? Everytime you donate your empty Kenco Eco Refill packs to Terracycle you are stopping that pack from going to landfill. If every coffee drinker in the UK switched to Eco Refill and then upcycled the pack, wed reduce the amount of waste send to landfill by 26 thousand tonnes per year.
