about

There are estimates of over $500,000,000 worth of scrap aluminum cans being thrown into the landfills every year. Wouldn't it be great to make something tangible, that people could look at and say "So that was made from money raised by recycling aluminum cans?"

contests

Recycled Stories will promote contests between companies, organizations, and groups that would get their employees or members into the habit of recycling. Money from the recycled cans would fund the motion pictures.

incentives

The companies, organizations, or groups would receive product placement in the films produced. Individuals would receive parts in the film as 'extras' or work as crew members.

aluminum, steel, plastic, glass, paper, cardboard

Aluminum beverage cans are one of the most recycled items in the United States and would be the easiest way to fund motion pictures, but you could easily add other recyclables like steel, plastic, rubber, glass, paper, and cardboard into the contests.
