We have been recycling and up-cycling with Terracycle and we have collected hundreds of Frito Lay chip bags, Capri Sun drink pouches, and Nabisco cookie wrappers! In doing so, we have earned money for our charity, Earth's Birthday!
For the New Year, we have added recycling Elmer's Glue bottles and sticks (empty, of course!) to our collection. This will also allow us to earn money for our charity.
We have chosen to create our own recycled bags for shopping. We are ordering plain totes made from 100% recycled materials and we will create our own "Green" designs on them. Now we do not have to choose paper or plastic when shopping and we are helping to keep the environment clean and "Green".
Our third graders have become exceptionally conscientious and they are great at reminding their peers to shut lights, computers, and to remember to carpool whenever possible. We have created posters to hang around our Fork Lane School (on, you guessed it, recycled paper!) to continue our promise to raise awareness.
Until next month........
