Terracycle is allowing nerds to reduce their carbon footprint. Finally nerds can do something useful with all those Cheeto packages that are littering your desk, send them over to Terracycle and they will turn those packages of delicious orange dust into speakers.
Terracycles a company in New Jersey, “insert joke here”, is doing something they call “upcycling” where they take trash and turn it into useful products and then sell them to consumers. For instance for 19.99 you can buy speakers made of Cheeto packets, and backpacks made of Capri sun pouches ( I just hope the backpack does not puncture through and leak everywhere (maybe this only happens to me)). Check out their webpage for other interesting things they have “upcycled”
I am all for this, while I am not a crazy environmental activists I am all for anything that helps out especially when the end result is something pretty cool. There is really something for everyone here; hipsters will love the irony for walking around with a messenger bag made for Capri Sun juice packets, hippies can rock out to some crunchy jams with some Sun Chip speakers, there are also biodegradable flowers pots for those with a green thumb, and a ton of other neato products. So, nerds keep eating your Cheetos, but send those packages in to Terracycle, together we can make something far more useful than a painting on Campbell's soup cans.
