Reuse Keurig

El. Ed. Teachers: Ideas for reusing/recycling the little plastic K-cups from the Keurig coffee maker?

The K-cups don't have a number on them, so I don't know if they can be recycled. But we thought that maybe a local school could use them for kids' arts and crafts projects. Any ideas of what the kids could do with them???

In case you haven't seen K-cups... they are little lightweight plastic cups with foil on top and coffee or coco or tea inside. The Keurig machine pokes a hole in the top and bottom and brews your beverage. Then, the cups are disposable, but what a waste!

The good news is that we analyzed the Keurig machine vs. many offices having individual coffee pots or going to a coffee shop for a beverage in a disposable cup, and we determined that we are better off environmentally with the Keurig machine. That said, there is still waste with the K-cups. So... we need your ideas!!!

Thanks!

The art class could build a huge statue, get on tv, and beg for funds for the arts in their school.
