Sammy's Wish for Her 14th Birthday
By: Jill Buck
Sammy S. is one cool kid! Her birthday is on June 24, and instead of presents, she is asking her friends and family to donate to the Go Green Initiative via Facebook Causes. She is asking people to donate $14, or whatever you can afford, in honor of her 14th birthday. Click here to see her Cause page.
“I don’t need any presents…why not use my birthday to do something good for the world?” says Sammy. “I think that we all should go green at school so we can raise money, and reuse everything.”
Sammy is spot on! When schools recycle, they can often sell their recyclables to a broker and raise money for the school. Aluminum, cell phones and sometimes paper and plastic can all provide lucrative money makers for schools.
