According to Heather Seeburger, Portage Central Elementary parent and program initiator, the school's largest effort toward helping the planet has been collecting items for Terracycle, a small company based in New Jersey that takes items such as Capri Sun pouches, chip bags, pens, and candy wrappers, and turns them into a usable product. With each item collected, the school receives two cents.
