Today is Global Recycling Day and we’re celebrating @ryans_recycling!⠀
⠀
When Ryan was 3 years old, he took a trip with his dad to the local recycling center to cash in a few small bags of cans and bottles. In that moment Ryan decided that recycling was in his future.⠀
With the help of his parents, Ryan gave empty plastic bags to all the neighbors in hopes that they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the local neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan, but so did their friends, families, and co-workers.⠀
⠀
Now Ryan is 10 and has recycled over 822,000 cans and bottles equaling about 114,000 pounds! Ryan’s goal is to keep cans and bottles from reaching the ocean where it’s harmful to the environment.⠀
