Our incredible readers and recyclers have recycled over 1.3 million cans in our very first Million Cans Recycling Contest! I’m beyond proud of them! 🎉♻️ I’m so excited to see what the future holds. The USA only recycles 45% of aluminum cans, but I know we can solve this problem if we make recycling fun and easy for everyone. Kids can change the world if we let them! 🌍✨
