Today we packaged up 257 Ryan’s Recycling shirt orders! Thank you everyone who ordered! Only $13 and after we pay for shipping and the cost of the shirt, all profits then go to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. We’ll be dropping off all the money from these shirt orders at the end of this month!
Yesterday Ryan received an award for his recycling efforts from the Patience Wright DAR chapter in Laguna Beach.

On Feb 7th, 2017, Ryan received an award for his recycling efforts by the San Juan Capistrano City Council and Mayor Kerry Ferguson. We had a great turnout and Ryan wore a tie for the first time! Thank you to everyone who attended and everyone who sent us encouraging emails and texts for Ryan’s efforts.
Ryan took part in an online interview about his story last week and it’s been featured here in Hong Kong! http://staytunedhk.blogspot.com/2017/01/ryan-7-year-old-eco-entrepreneur.html
Ryan got to meet Ellen DeGeneres on her show and talk about the importance of recycling and his business. What an awesome experience for him. Thank you Ellen and thank you to Shutterfly!
All this week it has been pouring rain and today was no exception. We had two customer pick ups today and it was the first time we sorted cans and bottles in the rain. The good news was the recycle center was empty so we didn’t have to wait in line. Ryan made $187 today and we didn’t have to wash out the back of the truck!
