The Recycling project 2007 celebrating 100 Years of Scouting
Throughout the year the Explorer Scouts are running a recycling
project which involves the recycling of aluminum cans.
We are depending on the cubs and scouts to donate cans every week, which
will then be taken to recycling center in Ypsonas and in exchange we will collect
money.
Why should you recycle?
• Saves money
• Saves energy
• Saves the earth’s resources
The monthly plan:
At the end of each month, the aluminum cans will be collected, squashed
and sent to the center. The money collected will be saved and at the end of
the year will be donated to charity or for any other good cause.
