When i started to make this,it was meant as an Environmental awareness lesson for high school kids in a Mexican town.

there are a lot of links to other answers and some youtubes

Coca cola is not exactly a green company,they refuse to do anything about recycling their bottles which litter the country side in Mexico,But it is a very good product to clean toilets and truck engines.

Answer 2

wow thats pretty cool to get a sponsorship like that...

here is a link with info you can use..if people are motivated to do things for money reasons its usually better than "save the planet" reasons

have the other 2 work on HOW TO PROMOTE and you can work on the environmental facts...

"what will you do with the GREEN you save by GOING GREEN?"

have them write sign something and write down their answer?

Answer 3

How did you get into this campaign? Your school?  Cause I've been looking to get involved in one. Although I'm 21

Answer 4

Well, the first thing that springs to mind, especially considering your sponsor, is that you can get paid cash for recycling pop cans.  The amount fluctuates depending on the market, and it might also make a difference as to how much you bring in at once.  It's best to crush the cans so they don't take up as much room when you're storing them.

This has the additional incentive of being a relatively easy way for teens to earn extra money to spend...on cars or anything else.

Freecycling is a good way to recycle non-recyclable stuff (for example, household items)...and get free stuff:
