Pepsico Recycling Recycling Resources for Classrooms and Families- this is an awesome website that I just became aware of. You can search by role, grade, subject and resources and there is a ton of information here!

And as an adult in general, I have been trying to do more things myself to reduce the amount of plastic waste that I am contributing to...here are a few of my favorite things that I have recently started using at my own home: 

Blueland Zero waste cleaning tablets in reusable, refillable packaging- I have replaced almost all of my cleaning products with this brand.

Earth Breeze Eco friendly zero waste laundry detergent sheets- zero plastic packaging, and it is free of all kinds of stuff we don't want in our products. Check it out!

Some fun sustainable products that I love:

Rothy's  Shoes made from made from recycled single-use plastic water bottles and marine plastic- and they are washable! 

RAREFORM Bags made from recycled billboard signs- ever wonder what they do with those things?? No 2 are the same, and they come in a variety of sizes.
