It’s OBaby’s first birthday, but you are the ones getting the presents! How great is that?
Around here we are doing our best to minimize waste, buying things with less packaging, using more cloths than paper towels to clean up, and frankly, eating the kind of food that doesn’t come wrapped in plastic (amen?) but there will always be left overs.
The food we feed OBaby’s when we’re traveling comes in pouches. Yes for heaven’s sake we eat chips from time to time. And cereal. But TerraCycle came up with innovative and adorable ways to reuse what ought to be waste. I absolutely love this idea.
TerraCycle diverts packaging waste from landfills and helps raise consumer awareness about reducing, reusing and recycling. By encouraging people to rethink ‘what is waste,’ TerraCycle is making it simple for consumers to have a positive impact on the environment. YOU can actually be on the recycling end of the equation by sending them your used packaging, including empty baby food pouches to be upcycled into baby-related items such as diaper wallets, bibs, backpacks and totes. Neat, huh? Participation is free and all shipping costs are paid.
Reduce waste and get involved by signing up here (OBaby is doing it!!). You can also follow TerraCycle’s tweets here to stay in the (recycle reduce reuse) loop.
I am thrilled to announce that O My Family is giving away a TerraCycle pencil case and set of eco-speakers in celebration of OBaby’s first birthday!
