TerraCycle Juice Pouch Pencil Cases

I remember the overflowing garbage cans on my elementary school playground circa 1985. I would like to think kids have gotten less wasteful, more environmentally conscious, but probably not.

So I think TerraCycle's CapriSun pencil case and other playground-refuse-reused pieces are pretty cool. I am going to use mine for either rubber bands or as a dock for all of my Chinese take out menus.

 These are so cute and would make great gifts!

I also got this as a freebe.  I use mine for my grocery coupons.  it is a good size to put all my coupons, a pen, and my list in there and head to the store.  Plus it is appropriately made from recycled drink containers, so it matches the whole grocery theme!  It is quite handy and brightly colored and reflective, makes it easy to find in my pile-o-papers that is my kitchen counter!

This is a great idea, but it can look cheesy. The pouches aren't small enough to make the bags look like patterned fabric or make it fashionable. It is handy, however, and nicely sized.
