Cans For A Cause

the problem:

I have a passion for the enviorment, as well as people not as fotunate as me, and I've found a way to kill two birds with one stone. I want to raise money for the local rescue mission and food pantry by collecting and recycling aluminum cans.

people involved:

25

why it's important:

This is important to me because I believe we should do everything we can to take care of our homes and help the people who need our help. Collecting cans is something very simple to do, and if your family or someone you know already drinks something in aluminum cans, it's nearly priceless.

the plan of action:

I'm going to collect as many cans as possible with hopes of making a donation to the rescue mission and food pantry by Christmas this or next year. Anyone can do this, it's such a simple way to help people less fortunate and an easy way to make sure that these cans don't end up in nature.

how you can get involved:

Others can help by collecting cans in their own communites or by collecting them for my cause. Either way, you're going to be making a difference in the lives of people around you and help save the planet.
