Thank you to my friends at Busch Systems who sent me recycle bins (and a new shirt) all the way from Ontario, Canada! We’re going to drop one set at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center this weekend and the others will be replacing my old bins. I looked on their web site and they sure do make a lot of different types of bins.
Great video on Ryan on AJ+. Sometimes I really don’t know where he gets some of the things he comes up with.

Success from Bottles and Cans…Ryan’s Recycling
With Earth Day around the corner, we wanted to celebrate by talking about a little boy with a giant love of the environment.
Ryan Hickman is only 7-years-old and is already a successful businessman with his company Ryan’s Recycling.
Beyond making the Earth a greener place for people, Ryan makes sure to never forget about animals.
He has a specially designed shirt that all of the proceeds made are donated to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach!
Listen to Bill tell you about Ryan (and some cool Earth Day tips) below!

“These things might be floating in the ocean, and a sea creature could come up inside and get stuck in them and die,” Ryan said. “Because you cut it up, they won’t die.” That reminder is just one way that this junior philanthropist and businessman is making the world a better place…. see more at: https://patch.com/california/lagunabeach/earth-day-tips-ryans-recycling-save-sea-lions-cutting-six-pack-rings
Last year at this time, the Capistrano Dispatch wrote an article on Ryan and this was the one year anniversary of their story that started all of the crazy media attention Ryan received over the past year. Thank you Allison Jarrell!

Ryan found the recycle center on Caye Caulker island during our stay this past week. One of the workers at the recycling plant even recognized him from YouTube! Ryan cashed in his Coke bottles for $1.25. Not a whole lot but every little bit helps! They don’t recycle plastic bottles on the island other than the 5 gallon water jugs so we brought all of our water bottles back in our bags to recycle here at home.
