Come Party, Recycle and Win with Al the Can

 

Did you know that the beverage can is celebrating its 75th birthday?  In
honor of the recyclable aluminum beverage can, we encourage you to
challenge your schools to see how many beverage cans they can recycle
per capita between America Recycles Day (November 15) and Earth Day
(April 22), 2011.  It's an extraordinary opportunity for schools to show
their true green spirit and environmental leadership by stepping up to
the Great American Can RoundUp School Recycling Challenge.

 

The Can Manufacturers Institute, the national trade association of can
manufacturers and their suppliers, is giving away a total of $56,000.
Your school could win up to $6,000, plus the value of the cans and the
chance to win $50 pizza cards.  Have your area schools go to
