As moms, we’ve learned to always have a few things on hand and I think we all know what’s at the top of that list. That’s right, snacks! As a busy family, we’re always on the go, so having stashes of last minute snacks in my purse and car are an absolute must. But in true mom fashion, that’s not where my preparedness ends. We also keep a bag in the car for all the wrappers and when I head to Walmart I just pick up the bag and drop them off. As my daughter grows, so does my desire to help her learn how to better take care of the world around us.

Sometimes that can be taught in little ways, like the choices we make and the actions we show just in our normal day-to-day. Tying in thoughtful choices with our daily lives makes these lessons a little easier to accomplish and hopefully creates some good habits along the way. Just one easy example is that we’ve started to buy Nature Valley Crunchy Bars with new in-store drop-off recyclable wrappers. Making the conscious effort to buy something that can be recycled (and then of course following through) is a lesson that I hope Iris will carry with her far into adulthood.

Not only are these already some of our go-to snacks from Walmart, but recycling the wrappers is easy. Just save your new recyclable Nature Valley Crunchy bar wrappers and other specialty plastics or film packaging at home and drop them in the bin at your local Walmart.

Little efforts like this can make a big impact and are a great way to ingrain lifelong lessons one snack at a time.

So what exactly is Store Drop-Off Recycling? Store drop-off recycling is a retailer-sponsored program that collects plastic bags and other flexible plastic packaging in their stores. We can collect and save qualifying plastic films at home, such as certain plastic shopping bags, bread bags, dry cleaning bags, produce bags, and food storage bags and bring them into stores to recycle. Make sure to look for the Store Drop-Off How2Recycle label.
