Pump Up The Volume With TerraCycle - Giveaway

I recently got an email from TerraCycle about a new brigade they have going for diaper packaging. The packaging will then be turned into diaper bags, which is just kind of cool if you ask me. But more about those another day.

Now you already know how much I love TerraCycle because I've written not 1 but 2 posts about their ultra cool products.

So while talking about their upcycled diaper bags I also found out that they also have a really cool new product that I think would make a great holiday gift and they think would make for a great giveaway. Ah, there's nothing better then free gifts.

So what's this great giveaway you ask? It's for a set of speakers made from chips bags that have a universal 3.5mm plug (will work on iPod, MP3 player or your laptop to name a few) and don't require any batteries to work!

I absolutely couldn't wait until my (free) speakers got here and when they did I was entirely too excited. I was also a little confused because they showed up in a flat shipping envelope. The last time I checked speakers weren't flat.

So I open the package up to find out that you have to put them together and by put them together I mean fold the sides up. So they're not only upcycled they're also totally portable, cool!



I know what you're thinking, speakers made from chips bags, and those work how? At least that's what I was thinking. Well, I can't explain it but they just do.

I was actually quite giddy when I plugged in these little cardboard/chip bag speakers and they actually worked and, even better, sounded pretty darn good!

Todd started to try and explain how they work but I wouldn't let him, I didn't want him to spoil the magic for me. If you want to know I'll let him explain it while I cover my ears and hum.

You can pick up a pair of speakers, or any number of entirely too cool products, on their web site TerraCycle.net or try stores like Radio Shack and Office Depot. Or better yet, enter for a chance to win a pair!
