I received an Entenmann’s prize pack that included coupons, gift card and upcycled lunch sack. All opinions are my own.
Earth Day is only a few short weeks away and in my home we’re thinking of all types of fun ways that the kids can get involved with the efforts to live a greener life. From talking about the importance of recycling to discussing ways that they can help save energy, they are on board with making a change to make a difference!
In order to keep them motivated and encouraged, I’m teaming up with Entenmann’s and we’re working on a fun project learning how kids can be recycling pros and turn trash into cash for their schools through a great new campaign! The Entenmann’s Little Bites “Recycle… Reuse… Replenish” Fully Recyclable Lunch Earth Day campaign teaches kids the importance of reducing waste while earning money for their schools by redeeming Little Bites pouches for cash and points with recycling partner TerraCycle® through the Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouch Brigade®. 
So how does it work? Well to start with, you simply add Entenmann’s Little Bites muffins and brownies to your kiddos lunches and snack times! There are tons of great flavors to ensure that every child finds a favorite including new Strawberry Yougurt flavor! Once your kiddos have indulged in their favorite snack, they simply send the empty pouches back to Entenmann’s – who even takes care of the shipping costs! For each pouch received, your Brigade® Collection Group will be awarded TerraCycle points that can be used towards a donation to the organization of your choice.
I don’t know about you all, but I don’t think snacking could get any more fun that this and it’s a fabulous way to remind my boys that today’s trash can be turned into tomorrow’s treasure!
But the inspiration doesn’t stop there! Because I’ve got some fun lunch tips to share with you to help you encourage your children to think green this Earth Day! Check them out below!
Entenmann’s Little Bites “Recycle…Reuse…Replenish” Fully Recyclable Lunch Tips:
Recycle

symbols on plastics to know what types get reused

Reuse
- 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 makes products out of wrappers and packaging. Check out http://www.terracycle.com/

Replenish
- 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.
