Whether it is the constant reminders to recycle every piece of paper, the disapproving looks as they hurry over to turn off an unneeded light, or the repeating questions as to why someone would even consider littering, I love knowing that they are growing up with care and concern about our planet.
Recently, we were introduced to yet another way to help make a difference... and it even involves delicious foods — a win-win! I'm not sure who was the most excited to join in the the Entenmann's Little Bites "Recycle… Reuse… Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch Campaign!
Entenmann's Bakery, the name that has been making life a little sweeter for more than 100 years with their amazing fresh-baked goods, has partnered with TerraCycle, an international leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste.
Together, this dynamic team has launched the first-ever "Recycle…Reuse…Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch campaign that is helping kids become recycling pros and turn trash into cash for their schools!
The process couldn't be much easier (or more tasty). After kids snack on their favorite Entenmann's Little Bites muffins and brownies, they send the empty pouches to TerraCycle to be turned into new products through the Entenmann's Little Bites Pouch Brigade.
What a great way to teach kids the importance of reducing waste while earning money for their schools — I love that this unique partnership with TerraCycle demonstrates Entenmann's dedication to recycling and reducing the amount of Entenmann's Little Bites pouches that end up in landfills each year!
As the recycling and upcycling experts at TerraCycle are committed to creating new lives for Entenmann's Little Bites pouches, it is great knowing that the used packaging is turned into innovative new products, while also awarding points for schools that can be redeemed as cash for every Little Bites pouch received.
Entenmann's also has a great collection of Little Bites "Recycle…Reuse…Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch tips that can help the whole family stay green:
Recycle
- Check-it: look for numbers and recycling symbols on plastics to know what types get reused.
- Be sure to recycle your Little Bites pouches with the TerraCycle Brigade programs. Sign up your school if it is not already participating and check out what other lunch items TerraCycle recycles!
- Put your sandwich in reusable lunchbox container to take home and use again.
- Before you toss anything away, stop to think about how you might be able to use it again. TerraCycle's team of designers make products out of wrappers and packaging and you can find DIY project ideas to try as well!
- Have any leftovers from lunch? Before you throw away, make sure to check out what biodegradable foods can be brought back home to be added to a compost pile.
- Make compost at home! Be sure to include the three basic ingredients: Browns (dead leaves, branches, twigs, cardboard, newspaper), Greens (grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds) and Water to make an effective outdoor composting area. More helpful info on composting at home can be found from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Big Sister E and Little Sister B were more than excited to enjoy the large variety of delicious Little Bites products while also knowing that their pouches would be recycled into things like garbage cans, park benches and even bike racks. Talk about a sweet idea!
Want to join in helping eliminate waste while also earning money for your school or favorite charity? Head over to the Entenmann's Little Bites Pouch Brigade today to find collection locations, see how much money has been raised, sign up and more!

ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea! A lot of waste can be reduced and many recycled into other products!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI think the 'Recycle...Reuse...Replenish' Fully Recyclable Lunch Campaign is definitely a worthwhile cause!
ReplyDeleteI think it is fantastic. It's good to start kids out young learning about how they can help reduce waste.
ReplyDeleteGlad that big business is working toward a clean environment!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to get kids thinking about what happens and what *can* happen with the packaging of all their favorite snacks :)
ReplyDeleteI think its a wonderful campaign that encourages other to do some good!
ReplyDeleteI think its a great idea and definitely something my children would enjoy being involved in.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very good idea to promote recycling and reusing items! We need to take care of our Earth!

I think it's a wonderful campaign!!
ReplyDeleteI think the idea is great! It's a great way to teach kids about taking care of our environment.
ReplyDeleteAnything that gets kids involved in recycling sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteI love compost....my mom has had one since i can remember. Just moved into a new house and starting one soon
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful campaign and a great way to teach kids about reducing waste!
ReplyDeleteI love this campaign, great to give kids chances to respect and save our Earth.
ReplyDeleteI love it! We do as much as we can, as a family, to reduce-reuse-recycle.. so I think its great to see companies (especially ones my kids love - they always take the mini muffins in their lunch) having a part in something that is so important.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea...we all need reminders as we can all do better!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a workable idea and I'm glad to see they're offering it thorugh multiple blogs or sweeps areas.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great campaign and sending a great message to young kids.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful thing they are doing.
ReplyDeleteI love this program. I actually tried to get the school at which my mother works to participate (I don't have elementary school aged children) but they weren't interested (boo hiss). My daughter's preschool also did not participate, and at that point I just gave up. We go through TONS of these pouches and I hate throwing them away when I know they can be recycled! I'm excited to check out the link for finding locations where they can be recycled.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful campaign. great for bringing more awareness.
ReplyDeleteI think that this campaign is a wonderful way to bring awareness to recycling.
ReplyDeleteI love that a donation is being made to a good group for recycling.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great idea and a good thing for kids to be learning and practicing.
ReplyDeleteThe lunch bag is cute and I love that it encourages kids to reuse and recycle.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great! sometimes we take for granted things we have and just toss them out instead of reusing or recycling. It's great that it's educating people!
ReplyDeleteAnything to keep the world cleaner and teach kids something is good
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea! wish more companies had campaigns like this one!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that brands are embracing recycling and every effort helps
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful! I only hope that schools are being supportive & encouraging it now, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's great they're encouraging kids to recycle at a young age
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of teaching kids. Every little bit helps!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea Natalie,natbelinsky@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree with this program...I try to reuse everything I can, recycle the rest if possible.
ReplyDeleteWe grow most of our own food. Guess that's our replenishing part.
I love the idea of it. Love the idea of recycling for schools!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteTeach your children well... Good idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest.

I think everyone should recycle glad to see this being promoted :)
ReplyDeleteI think the Campaign is a great thing
ReplyDeleteagnesye@hotmail.com
I think it's a great idea. I always try to recycle and reuse what I can. If everyone did this every day, we would see a whole lot less wasted. The schools should try to implement a group or club just for this purpose and to help kids to learn how to reuse and recycle what they can.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea whose time has come
ReplyDeletetraymona[at]aol.com
I think that this campaign is a great way to remind kids about recycling.

ReplyDeleteI love seeing corporations doing good for the environment! It makes me happy to see entenmanns putting this kind of effort it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to get the little ones involved!
ReplyDeleteIt only makes sense. There is to much waste.
ReplyDeletedelicious
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to get kids involved.
ReplyDeleteI homeschooled, and was always looking for ways to teach my children ways to help the environment. This is a great idea to encourage children to reuse and recycle.
ReplyDeleteIt is THE BEST idea! IF ONLY we could get everyone to recycle. I know people who do not. And they do it because it does take a bit of work! Some people are way too lazy and do not actually see the big picture.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great campaign! I always like to see businesses take responsibility for the way they do business in regard to their footprint on this planet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful idea, we all need to recycle!
ReplyDeleteI think this campaign is a good way to raise awareness about how much garbage goes into the dumps from disposable wrappers.

It's nice to see larger brands producing food in a more sustainable way. I had no idea they were doing this and gained more respect for the company.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think it is a good way to help teach kids how to recycle.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love the campaign. Yummy food and working toward bettering the environment with packaging. Win win.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of reusable. I do anything I can to help the environment.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful campaign and am so glad that companies are actually starting to care about GMO's, the planet, etc. It has to be a worldwide project to protect people and the planet. It also teaches children about recycling. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great way to get people thinking a little more about the wastes they are producing and also about ways to recycle.
ReplyDeleteLove the tip about re-using lunch containers instead of plastic bags. It's such an easy thing to do!
ReplyDeleteThe Entenmann's Little Bites 'Recycle...Reuse...Replenish' Fully Recyclable Lunch Campaign is proactive
ReplyDeleteIt is a great campaign. Makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Recycle, Reuse, Replenish Recycleable lunch campaign is great, I like that they are making a conscious effort to reuse their products, and I love the lunch pack
ReplyDeleteHi! I think this campaign is a great idea! All of the packaging we throw away makes a crazy amount of garbage and if they have a way to reduce it great! I love the Little Bites too. Yummy! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love the recycling part: we need to teach our children by example.
ReplyDeleteI think its a wonderful campaign.

Need to teach children the importance of recycling and giving them a good treat will help reinforce that message.
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. Very responsible.
ReplyDeleteLove3570@aol.com
I think Entenmann's campaign is great! Sometimes a reminder like this fun campaign is just what I need to keep up my resolve to do my part.
ReplyDeleteI was raised by my grandparents in the 70's, who had come of age in the depression. Avoiding waste was a big thing with them and my brother & I absorbed it well. A campaign like this really resonates with me.
ReplyDeleteA great way to reduce and reuse.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a fun and good way to teach children to reuse.

Honestly...I think it's great that the package can be recycled, but I'd rather recycle at home and I'll teach my student about it myself. Let's do other more important things at school and get the corporations out of the classroom. I'm happy to make a monetary donation to our schools.
ReplyDeleteI whole-heartedly approve! :)
ReplyDeleteI think this a great idea. Any thing that can be reused helps the whole world. The campaign also teaches kids about recycling and helps schools. What could be better?
ReplyDeleteI think when big companies encourage recycling it has a big impact on peoples thinking.So,I think they are great to do this.
ReplyDeleteI love their campaign as well as my kids!

ReplyDeleteI really like it; it's definitely a way to get people thinking differently!
ReplyDeleteI like the program, a little unsure of the saving things from lunch at school, but we compost what we don't eat at home.
ReplyDeleteI think it this is an awesome campaign to get families involved.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to educate the children. When I was growing up nobody ever talked about recycling or for that matter any conservation. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's a great idea to focus on recycling. The campaign was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteTheir campaign caught the attention of my 7yo son last month, so its working!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I love it!
