[Via the Can Manufacturers Institute] The Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) is pleased to extend an invitation to schools in Missouri to our 2nd Annual Great American Can Roundup School Challenge. CMI is awarding a $1,000 to school in each state recycling the most aluminum cans per student and an additional $5,000 to the top per capita recycling school nationwide. The contest period is from America Recycles Day (Nov. 15) to Earth Day (April 22) 2012.

Registration is required and is now open through December 15 at www.cancentral.com/roundup where schools also will find virtually everything they need for a successful Roundup. Have your schools reserve their spot today. It is a great win, win for the environment and fundraiser for the schools and a way schools can show their true green spirit and environmental leadership. Please help us spread the word.
