Our 4th book is now well underway. It’s a rubbish book … which isn’t what you think 🙂

We have been collecting cans and bottles from local businesses and houses, so we are turning these into a book on recycling. A recycling book fully funded by recycling! Very cool. Plus Elijah is meeting more and more people around our local area, building connections which will help him later in life. (And it gets him away from screen time, teaching him a good work ethic!)

We will then give these recycling books out as rewards, as supporters give us their recycling items … and with the profits we will be able to distribute free books to schools in the local community (and then further afield) with the intention of:

1. Encouraging reading;
2. Creating awareness of recycling;
3. Creating awareness of Down syndrome;
4. Introducing more people to Elijah and Crumpet.

Recycling as a community project attracts a lot of support, from locals, businesses, council and local media. So I would definitely recommend it as a way to raise funds for a worthy cause.
