TerraCycle sent me a lunchbox and a pencil pouch - both made from recycled CapriSun Pouches! I love how they are very well made, they are way cool! I think a perfect gift for tweens. There are so many different things that they offer too out of other materials.  Both of the products are very durable, cute & stylish, and can easily be wiped clean. You shouold check it out and hook up with a schol near you that are collecting for recycling.

Have you heard of TerraCycle? They have a great mission. I received the Drink Pouch Lunch Bag and a Drink Pouch Pencil Bag.  I love the thought that when into making these products! The lunch bag is excellent! We used it recently on a field trip and I was able to get everything needed in it!

Just about every school - public or private - needs money. And I'm not against it by any means. This year I'm chairing the fund raising committee for my younger son's school. My goal is to incorporate projects that teach as well as bring in money. But In my quest, I've found another that I must share. The company is called TerraCycle, and its aim is to make eco-friendly, affordable consumer products from waste.

If you're like most parents, right now is a bittersweet time. Sure, the kids are back in class, but with it comes a barrage of fundraisers. Just about every school - public or private - needs more money. And I'm not against it by any means. However, when the boxes of chocolate bars or the order forms for gift wrap arrive in the book bags, it's difficult to suppress a groan. On more than one occasion, I've told my husband I wish they'd just send us a bill for our portion and cut out the middle man. My girlish figure really doesn't need any candy, and I have enough wrapping paper to take care of Santa's Village. But we do it for our children. This year I'm chairing the fundraising committee for my younger son's school. My goal is to incorporate projects that teach as well as bring in money. I mentioned one a few weeks ago, Box Tops for Education, that's run by General Mills. But in my quest, I've found another I must share. The company is called TerraCycle, and its aim is to make eco-friendly, affordable consumer products from waste.

From pencil pouches made of Capri Sun juice packets to candy wrapper tote bags, TerraCycle is putting the fun back in recycling and even rewarding people for their sustainable efforts.
