It will take us all to make the world safe for habitation for millennia to come. On today’s show, host Terri Wilke will speak with her guest, Linda Klinker about her brainchild, Cans for the Community. Cans for the Community was formed in May of 2005 in Lawrence, Kansas, with the belief that the simple act of recycling aluminum cans could benefit the community in more than one way.  Recycling aluminum can save valuable resources AND it generates funds for the good of the community.  It is a simple idea with powerful results! http://cansforthecommunity.org/ Volunteers for Cans for the Community collect aluminum cans for recycling from businesses, apartment complexes, community recycling drop-off bins and at local events such as football games.  All proceeds from recycling are donated to local non-profit organizations. Clearly marked Cans for the Community aluminum can bins are distributed to participating businesses in Douglas County, Kansas.  There are also  recycling drop-off bins for households and smaller businesses. Aluminum has been produced since the early 1800’s.  It is easily reused and today approximately 75% of all aluminum produced in history is still in use.  It pays to recycle aluminum and when the cash is put to good use in the community – that is a win/win! We support the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour! This will be a great radio hour!   “The whole world is one neighborhood.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt
