In this economy everyone is trying to find new and original ways to save money. But who would’ve guessed that you could save enough cash to finance your entire wedding and manage to help the environment at the same time? Well that is exactly what this couple did. Within six and a half months, Peter Geyer and Andrea Parrish reached their goal of recycling 400,000 cans and earning $3,800. This money will go to pay for their July 31st wedding.
Since reaching their goal, the couple has still been collecting cans. They are working toward paying for their honeymoon and giving back to charity. 40% of the proceeds will now go towards their honeymoon fund; the other 60% will go to Doctors without Borders and the Rim Country Land Institute.
Not only did the couple fund their entire wedding through recycling, but they also put a significant dent in their carbon emissions. Their efforts to recycle 400,000 cans will reduce carbon emissions by 50 tons!More and more people are using this innovative couple as a role model for all the possibilities recycling has to offer.
