Kids Fundraiser

Here's a great fundraiser that we've started at my school. We've partnered with a company called TerraCycle, Inc.

When you go to their site, run your mouse over each picture and see the before and after effects. It's really cool to see what happens to all that we collect. It's amazing how they can turn our trash into something that we use everyday. The reason we like this fundraiser is because more than anything, it keeps our trash out of the landfill!

Check out the story of how TerraCycle began: TerraCycle Inc.

Our School's Fundraiser!



Week one - of Terracycle Fundraiser 10/24/08

This is Sebastian and me cleaning all of the juice packs. His brother Luca helped, but he had to leave before we took the picture.

Check out all of the juice packs the kids at our school have collected. Total count is 350 in just 4 days. Can you imagine how much we will have collected in a month?

Week Two of Terracycle Fundariaser - October 31



The second week we decided to take a scientific approach to counting the juice pouches.

Our fellow students donated the following:

Capri Sun 354 Minute Maid 15Kool Aide 26 Others 04Honest Kids 02

Giving us the Grand Total of 401!days

Week three of Terracycle Fundraiser - November 8

Our fellow students donated the following:

Capri Sun 335 Minute Maid 12Kool Aide 25 Others 02Honest Kids 02

Giving us the Grand Total of 376!

Not Collectable!

This is the trash that we found in the bag of juice packs. Notice the rotten apple and the sour yogurt. We are going to have to go in and remind everyone that the TRASH goes in the TRASH CAN!! YUCK!
