The Problem

Two of the most obvious problems in China are the income gap and the environment. These problems can be seen EVEN IN SCHOOL. At the Attached Middle School of Yunnan Normal University (YNSDFZ), some students come from rural areas of Yunnan Provence; they study really hard but are having trouble with money. Meanwhile, other students in the school are throwing away large amounts of soda cans and bottles every day.

Plan of Action

With the help of the student council, collect soda cans and bottles from every class at the end of each day. Then trade them to trash recyclers who pay for them. The money earned is then given to the school to fund students in need that applies for it.
