During earth week, we met a 2nd grader of PS40, who has been collecting bottle caps for 3 years and sending them to Aveda to be recycled. As you know, we were collecting them for the week to see how many we could collect. In one week, we pretty much filled the jug you see in the photo. Imagine if we had been doing it for 3 years!
So, let's meet him. Interviewed during earth week by SGET member Wesley.
