Today's mail call was awesome! I won a pair of Earth Footwear during their Earth Day promotion. I was one of 40 people who won shoes on Earth Day. I had my choice of shoes from their Spring line. I am going to wear them around for a couple of days and then write a review post.

I had never heard of Opaleen Jewelry until last week. I was reading another blog that was hosting an Opaleen giveaway. So, I entered the contest. To get an extra entry, I became an Opaleen fan on Facebook. Later in the evening, I got an email saying that I had been Opaleen's daily winner. Of course, I couldn't believe my luck! lol I am never that lucky. 
Today was a great mail call! First, I got a lot of great coupons from Cologate. I had written to them because the scent of deodorant I like was being discontinued. So they sent me free deodorant coupons along with other high value coupons on other Cologate products. I got a purse pack of Puffs with lotion from VocalPoint. With that came 5/.50 off and 1/1.00 Puffs. A Jiffy cookbook and a beautiful set of bangle bracelets, I won from Opaleen Jewelry. (see my review post)
Here are some of the new TerraCycle products you can expect to find at Walmart starting April 5th:
Teach kids about gardening and the environment at the same time with the TerraCycle Kid’s Growing Kits for Vegetables, Flowers or Herbs. The Kits use upcycled Stonyfield Yogurt Cups as planting pots and TerraCycle’s famous Worm Poop mixed with compost for the growing medium. The Kits come with growing instructions and the cardboard tray holding it all together is even embedded with the seeds needed to start the plants. Almost no part of these kits becomes waste and they come with everything you need to start growing right away. Stonyfield and TerraCycle run a free collection program that pays organizations 3 cents for every used Yogurt Cup they collect.
The world’s first standard Delta Kite to be made from food wrappers! These brightly colored kites are made from waste packaging of popular brands like M&M’s and Skittles and look great flying at the beach or above your picnic. Candy wrappers are made strong and light to protect your snacks, which makes them an ideal material to make these affordable, fun kites. So make a statement when you go fly a kite: that you can snack and help the planet! TerraCycle pays schools and non-profits nationwide to collect use packaging, join the 60,000 other groups collecting at www.terracycle.net
For the first time, TerraCycle is proud to introduce a full line of bags made from upcycled food wrappers that are reserved to show the white or silver side, instead of the branded side with logos. Frito-Lay wrappers are turned inside out and have a variety of patterns ranging from flowers to skulls printed on each side. With handles and trim selected to match the patterns, no one will even know these bags are made from waste, until you tell them of course! The line includes a variety of tote bags, wristlets and clutches.
TerraCycle makes a full line of Journals, Folders and Notebooks made from used Mars candy wrappers from favorite brands like Skittles and M&M’s. These unique, bright items are great for school or personal use. Made from waste wrappers, all of TerraCycle school products have a drastically smaller carbon footprint than traditional products and are still just as affordable and fashionable as any other item!
This range of bags includes everything from camera and shoulder bags to backpacks and lunchboxes. Made from a variety of upcycled wrappers including Mars candy wrappers, Frito-Lay wrappers and Capri Sun drink pouches. The items are made from the same wrappers that will cover the very food they may hold on the way to school or work! All made with trim and handles which match the original logos product these bags are as fun and fashionable as they are eco-friendly!
This is exciting because not only will you easily be able to buy cool new TerraCycle products at Walmarts everywhere, but it will also make the average consumer think twice about where that chip bag or juice pouch is going after they are done using it. This will also give millions of students across the country collecting in a TerraCycle Brigade the opportunity to see their collection efforts come to life!

I have several TerraCycle items and they are always conversation starters. I am also happy to say that the school my children attend collect items to send to TerraCycle. Please check out your local Walmart during the month of April for these great products and consider how you could help start a TerraCycle program in your own child's school or daycare.
