Thinking "Green" At Summer Camp

At at day camp in St. Petersburg, Florida, kids are helping not only the environment but those who suffer from cancer.

Everyday at lunch, the campers pick up aluminum cans and other recyclables at a local park where they eat lunch and play.  They put the cans and bottles into recycling bins, but they also do one other key thing: take off the tab of the can.

One camper was very moved by the work done at a local Ronald McDonald house and wanted to help. So every day her and her fellow campers, when they recycle, take the tab off and put it into a container for the Ronald McDonald house.  The tabs are then recycled and the money is used for daily expenses at a house.

Though it takes many tabs for a pound, by doing one small thing daily, the campers are not only helping the environment, but helping those in need.
