* GIVEAWAY * TerraCycle Bag (ends 10/6 at 11:59 PM CDT)

Congratulations to TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigrade Program - they have save 50 million pouches from being put in landfills and contributed a MILLION dollars to schools and non-profit organizations!

The Capri Sun beverage brand was one of the earliest supporters of TerraCycle, a company that collects would-be trash and turns it into useful items. The collection program, called the "Drink Pouch Brigade," takes place mostly in schools, where children choose to deposit used pouches in special receptacles rather than throw them away. In participating schools, each used drink pouch collected and sent to TerraCycle earns two cents, with the funds going toward needed educational programs and resources. Does your school participate in this program? If so, let us know. Together, students and teachers at over 30,000 schools nationwide
have collected 50 million drink pouches for the program over the past two years resulting in the 1 million dollars milestone donation! AMAZING!

For this giveaway we would love to hear your recycling, reusing tips and ideas in how you involve your family. Keep a lookout during this giveaway for reusable crafts and tips coming your way!
