Wal-Mart Kids Recycling Challenge
|
Posted 3 months ago As I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts on the way to work this morning, I learned about the Wal-Mart Kids Recycling Challenge, "a fun and educational program that teaches elementary school students about the importance of recycling while earning money for their schools! Participating schools earn $5.00 for every 60-gallon collection bag they fill with plastic shopping and grocery bags." A part of me scoffed when I heard about this, because it seems so counter-intuitive to associate Wal-Mart with being "green." But maybe a project like this would actually work? I just hope it's not the only measure they're taking in turning around their business practices. Any thoughts? Kids recycling plastic bags for WalMart - cool fundraiser? Or missing the mark? I wonder if the 60-gallon collection bags are plastic... |
