Aware Recycling: Putting People to Work, Doing the Work that Needs to be Done

Visit the Kickstarter Campaign link here. Tell your family, friends and constituents! AWARE uses recycling, education, the arts, collaboration, job creation and economic development to build healthy Communities. It is our goal to build a sustainable model that can be reconstructed anywhere on the planet and begin helping that community. The purpose of each model is to help local and global economies, families, culture and the environment of that region.  In collaboration with Will Make Film for Food we are combining recycling, film, technology and innovation to create high quality films and film equipment that is affordable and open to projects with a positive message.   In these past 8 years of building; we've learned a lot. One of those being: for very little money, we can create a lot of jobs and do a lot of good in our community.  We have already secured a warehouse! The AWAREhouse! Right now it is our goal to open 3 more recycling centers prior to the end of the year. This will create 18 jobs in our community and give us an opportunity to collect more recyclable material to turn into art!!!! Previously, with just one recycling center in operation we were able to help over 15 people off of the streets and keep more than 2 million pounds of waste out of our landfills.
