There’s a tornado of information coming from blogs, Twitter, Facebook and all. So, how does a company make itself heard? One way is by having a good story to tell. Another is an ability to engage customers and, best, allow them to participate in a larger cause.
This is good news for not only for profits, because, by the nature of their products and missions, they tend to have a good...
Great product that takes a number of juice pouches out of the waste stream.
The sample of the messenger bag that I was sent, which uses Kool-Aid Jammers juice pouches in the flap and the back, though it was an “Oreo Messenger Bag” I had in fact wanted to use for review. Not that that matters, though, I am sure.
It must be said, however, that I do like the green color – it...
Students at the Milfor Middle School took a bite out of their carbon footprint this year while providing money for the homeless, simply by recycling cookie wrappers.
The students of Diane Varney-Parker's art class have always tried to find different ways to reuse their trash. When she heard about a young company, called TerraCycle, that was also reusing garbage to make eco-friendly products,...
Katie Rhoads needs help. She needs the residents of Le Roy to bring in using energy and granola bar wrappers (any foiled lined wrappers will work) to help raise money for her daughter's pre-kindergarten class at Wolcott Street School. Katie is hoping the community will save all their used wrappers over the summer and give them to Wolcott Street School in the fall.
See this bag? It's a crumpled up Target bag. Go here. See what that Target back turned into, thanks to TerraCycle.
I've heard about TerraCycle before; their flagship product is TerraCycle plant food. It's an organic, all natural plant food made from waste (worm poop) and packaged in waste (reused soda bottles). Cool, right?
TerraCycle gets even cooler. They will donate money for...

TerraCycle is saving millions of corks from going into landfills, and they are actively recruiting wine enthusiasts, restaurants, bars, tasting rooms and wineries to keep used corks out of the waste stream. As an...
I switched to Honest Tea from Tazo bottled teas a couple of years ago when I started gaining weight and finally figured out why. One bottle of Tazo contained nearly 40 grams of sugar!
I'm now in love with Honest Tea (Peach Oo-la-long and Mango Acai White Tea are amazing!) and appreciate half of the sugar content. Honest is also an organic product and they offer juice pouches for kids...
