Back to School with TerraCycle and GIVEAWAY!!!

August 17, 2008 By: Calley Pate25 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to have new content delivered to your inbox! I hope to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have a lot of information on rock painting and cloth diapers in my archives if you're interested! Thanks for visiting!

Nice to see you again! Hope you're having a fabulous day! Can I help you with anything? Contact Me!

My little 5 yr old (ok..he’s a big boy now) will be starting school this week.  The start date of school is suppose to be Tuesday BUT that might change with Tropical Storm/Hurricane Faye headed towards Florida.  His school supply list was pretty basic this year; nothing too extravagant.  Mostly just paper, pencils, pencil box, glue, etc.  On my trip to Wal-Mart I only spent $5 on the whole list of supplies.  How can you make your kids school supplies a little more green?

Look for recycled paper and recycled folders.  Look for pencils that are either refillable or made from rainforest free trees.  TerraCycle even offers some unique and quirky back to school supplies.  They have a cute pencil bag, lunch box, and backpack all made from juice pouches.  I actually saw the pencil bag at our local Walgreens last week (only about $3).  Looking on their website they also offer eco-binders and a drink pouch homework folder.

    I love these products! What an awesome idea for recycling! After finding the CapriSun homework folder & pencil case while looking for school supplies, my 6yr & 4yr old sons are SO exciting to start saving their drink pouches to send to Terracycle 🙂

    these are so cool! I actually had to check out their website and see they are accepting new drink pouch cookie wrapper collections-I will be sure to let my nonprofit where I work (has childcare section) as well as my daughters afterschool program-they might want to sign up and start collecting those wrappers and pouches! I’d love to win one as well, so I can show them those wonderful things they do with trash to help our environment.

    I recently purchased the terracyle pencils made of newspaper and they are awesome. They write nice, sharpen nice and are fun to look at.
    I love knowing that there is a company out there that understands that recycling is logical and practical. I hope your business is doing great and I’ve recommended these pencils to all my college friends.
    Thanks for being the alternative to the norm.
