The Netherlands!

Thanks to a family reunion trip to the Netherlands, a kind Grandparent brought back some cans to give to our class! We are so thankful for the long journey that they had to get to our class. The cans are very colorful. One is black with gold lettering, that seems to be a favorite! We also thought it was interesting how small some of them were....tiny cans of pop! The can with the girl from long ago is to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Coca-Cola! From the Netherlands to the US a long trip from some cans to travel!

Have Cans....Must Recycle....The Plant Bottle



It is shocking how many cans DON"T get recycled....in fact, it is a shame, so part of our project needs to be the promoting of Reducing, Reusing and Recycling......

Thanks to Coca-Cola and the invention of the PLANT BOTTLE.....the company is using a variety of new packaging that is based on plant material!


We learned that this has earned Coca-Cola the Edison Award which awards companies for innovative ideas! Way to go Coke!

All the Way from ....JAPAN!? Well, almost!



Wow....we lucked out on this one..thanks to our teacher's Dad, we have a can from Japan. Mr. Sauder was served this Sprite can while he was on a flight from Florida! Interesting? We thought so to. The good news is that we can add it to our collection! The can adds some color to our red and white ones! Lets hope for some more in the near future!
