Cookie wrapper brigade

TerraCycle is proud to announce that
a new upcycling Brigade is ready for
participants. But first we would
like to thank you for your efforts
 with our current Brigades - you are an
important part of our efforts,
and without you we couldn't continue
these programs.  Your involvement is a
pivotal part of our
campaign to eliminate the idea of waste!

We are excited to announce our newest
program: the Cookie Wrapper Brigade! This
program is sponsored by
Nabisco and we are honored to include
Oreo (America's favorite cookie) as a part
of the first national
program designed to reduce the amount of
 cookie wrapper waste going in to our
nation's landfills. Through
this Brigade, $.02 will be donated to
 charity for every used cookie wrapper
collected by schools, individuals
and organizations. The collected wrappers
will be used to make a variety of
innovative products that are
expected to be available at major
 retailers by early 2009.

Anyone can sign up for the Cookie Wrapper
 Brigade by
visiting www.terracycle.net/brigades. As
with all of TerraCycle's
Brigades, there is absolutely no cost to
participate and the program is
extremely easy to participate in.  Within
three weeks after signing up online, each
participant will receive four
collection bags that
hold 50 cookie wrappers each. Once a bag is
 full, you simply mail it back to
TerraCycle.  Your returned wrappers
are tracked and counted, and donations are made
 twice a year. All shipping and
program fees are covered by the
Brigade program to encourage people to collect
 as many wrappers as possible!

This program is a part of TerraCycle's
Sponsored Waste movement, through which
companies who strive to be socially
and environmentally responsible - like Nabisco
- partner with TerraCycle to
collect and upcycle their packaging.
These programs now cover a range of brands and
products, including bottles,
yogurt containers, drink pouches, energy
and granola bar wrappers, and now cookie wrappers!

Please join the Cookie Wrapper Brigade
and help us eliminate the idea of waste!
