They’re really all over the place at this point — Target’s a good place to start, actually, if you shop there :)

My teenager and I have been looking for these pouches…I think they look cool and could inspire others to recycle. Go GREEN!

Ha! Good to know that there are less eco-fugly versions available too :)

Gracie — I hear you with the an ugly recycled pencil bag than a cute one that isn’t recycled.

Jennifer — Just follow the links in the post to find out where the products are.

BusTard — I hear you with the concerns about how these products are like free advertising for high fructose corn syrup! I went into this a little bit in my review of Terracycle CEO Tom Szaky’s book Revolution in a Bottle.

Eco Kid — You’ll grow out of your bad taste. Ah, the ugly follies of youth –

Since you’re OLD you probably don’t get it. They’re all the rage in eco-friendly middle schools. Where people USE pencil pouches. What don’t you get about a pencil pouch. Of course they’re not for adults.

Perhaps Terracycle might consider eliminating the inadvertent advertising of a poor substitute for nutrition and just turn the things inside out. Just as I refuse to buy tee-shirts with advertising (the only tees with words I wear are those with which I have an intimate association, and even then only as undershirts), I also shy away from stuff that advertises crap. Moreover, I understand that to make it the way it is made is to exhibit what can be done with what would otherwise be trash made for the one-time use of flavoured sugar water, but it is simply ugly. (I have always held the same idea about beer-can macrame hats, which my mum usta make in the 1970s.)
It is a good idea to re-use that which would otherwise go into a landfill, but a bit of an aesthetic would be nice too.

This one in your picture is not attractive. But they can be very cool. I just bought one multi-colored with three pouches upright on both sides.

I wonder if they come in bigger sizes.. If they’re all that small, then I would never use them. I always need a biggish pencil bag.
