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

I love when they reuse items and make something great out of them. THis bag is so great.
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.

What a wonderful recycling idea! These are cute!
That’s the coolest recycled bag I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the giveaway!
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.
Got mine at Green Nation Gardens
i’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for these!!! i wanted to make my own, but i can’t find a good picture to look at. ‘-’ i’ve saved up about a bazillion juice pouches and i don’t know what to do with them!!
LOVE the concept of upcycling- GO TERRACYCLE!
What a wonderful way to let the kid see what happens to the “trash” that cannot be destroyed.
All 8 of my grandchildren are doing more to save the planet than their parents ever did. I couldn’t be more proud of these recycled products.
love the Terracycle items!! please send !!
