The beginnings of the Recycle Walk

My idea for the recycle walk is to combine exercising (walking together in groups) together with picking up trash that litterbugs throw down on the side of the roads. We will be cleaning up our environment and getting in shape at the same time. Most of everything I pick up from litterbugs can be recycled, so mostly everything we clean up will be recycled. The groups would consist of at least 4 or 5 people per group. If more people join together, we will send groups of 4 or 5 people in different directions. Each person will have a separate bag which will be labeled either plastic, glass, tin, paper, or trash. This will eliminate us having to sort through it all later. I will then take all the recyclables to the recycle center and any money made from the recycling will be donated to an organization that saves animals effected from pollution and littering. This will first start off in Lake County, Florida but one day I hope to spread this idea through out the country and maybe even through out the world! So to sum my ideas up, this one organized group can do so much for our planet while we are socializing and exercising. This system will work in a circle helping over and over to protect the beautiful nature that surrounds us! More information to come. I will be working on getting a group together so if you are interested become a follower so you can keep updated. Now to do more research on organizations that save animals ( I want a local organization) and to make some contacts with local recycling centers! Until next time, enjoy the beauty of our planet and I encourage you to come up with some planet saving ideas of your own!!
