The Problem
The goal of Recycle For Parkinson's is to utilize the money acquired from recycling aluminum cans and donating it to Parkinson's Disease research. Through this process the organization helps the environment through recycling, and also helps strides towards a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
Plan of Action
The general plan of action has been to distribute trash bins to various places as a receptacle for the aluminum cans. By providing the bin it can often persuade people that would normally be reluctant to donate cans because it would require work on their part.
When the bins become full I also come and collect the cans, making it as easy as possible on the people making the donation. I then collect the cans and eventually take a large amount to the recycling station. Through this I acquire the money in exchange for the cans. With this money I purchase more bins and donate portions to Parkinson's research.
As small as the impact made seems, any impact really does make a difference. Also, as this organization grows the impact will grow with it. For example, with more and more bins coming into the community that means more and more cans are recycled. Through this more money is exchanged and then a bigger donation can then be made towards the research!
