Take a hard look at this here tote. Notice anything unusual? Aside from the fact that it’s the perfect size to fit, say, munchies from your latest trip to the grocery store or goods from your holiday shopping spree, it’s made from repurposed CLIF wrappers. Our friends over at TerraCycle started an eco-revolution, taking a range of non-recyclable waste materials and turning them into eco-friendly products.

Work with us here at Clif Bar and you may end up a champion. Well, that and do a whole lot of training.

Well, we just finished our work here in New Orleans for In Good Company and I have to admit it—exhaustion's setting in.

A few days late but without further ado, a recap of Day 4 of In Good Company. Eric fills us in on his adventures in the Bayou and a few (more) reasons why New Orleans is such an amazing place... Well, if you’ve read any of the previous New Orleans blogs from earlier this week, you are well aware that there is a group of us down here in the Crescent City building a house for a family displaced by hurricane Katrina.
