TerraCycle Inc. is looking
for Maryland area schools interested in receiving free
Bird Feeders and an entire Ornithology curriculum to help
teach their students about nature and the importance of
protecting wildlife.
In early
October a representative from TerraCycle will be presenting
the company’s newest eco-friendly product, an entry Bird
Feeder packaged in a reused 2-liter soda bottle, at the
California Wal*Mart, For every three Bird Feeders that are
purchased from local stores, TerraCycle will donate one Feeder
to the school along with the State of Maryland Ornithology
curriculum to the school.
TerraCycle developed the
Bird Feeder and this program with hopes of inspiring young
children to love and appreciate wildlife. If younger
generations learn to respect and enjoy wildlife at an early
age, they will be more likely to protect animals and their
environment, as they grow older.
The TerraCycle Bird
Feeder is
the ideal eco-friendly bird feeder for young people and
families with young children. It is made from recycled or
reused materials and is already filled with quality birdseed.
Unlike other bird feeders, you can take it home and hang it
outside immediately. No filling with seed and minimal assembly
required! The compact and attractive design makes the Feeder
perfect for decks or yards of any size! The
TerraCycle Bird
Feeder is also less expensive than any other on the market,
retailing at Wal*Mart for only $4.88!
TerraCycle works extensively
with schools across America by running three recycling
fundraisers. The first is the Bottle Brigade, a program in
which schools collect used 20 oz soda bottles and TerraCycle
donates six cents for every de-labeled bottle returned to
TerraCycle. The newest collection program is for kid’s drink
pouches. TerraCycle pays schools one or two cents a piece for
these non-recyclable pouches. TerraCycle is now working with
Stonyfield Farm to collect used yogurt containers, donating
two or five cents depending on size. Visit www.terracycle.net/dpb to sign up or for
more information.
If you
would like to sign up a school for the program or want images
or samples of the Bird Feeder, please contact, Albe Zakes at
