THE BOTTLE PROJECTOne Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Trash Can
WHO WE ARE
• We are a group of students from Stanton College Prep dedicated to increasing environmental awareness.
• We actively volunteer in our community as part of the COAST Club, and in our opinion, leaders are not born, they are made. We are the next generation, shaped by the world— and we will be the ones shaping it too.
• There is no shortage of creativity here, because we are always on the lookout for new and innovative ways with which we can spread our message.
• All of these qualities, in addition to our contagious passion, make us the perfect people for this project. Together, let’s make a difference!
THE VISION
• Last summer, I travelled to Costa Rica on a service trip with the Kids’ FUN Youth Ambassadors program. I was exposed to wonderful creativity in the form of recycle bins composed entirely out of plastic water bottles!
They caught my eye as I was walking down the street one day!
THE MISSION
• My mission to bring this innovation to Jacksonville is a subset of a
larger vision to create a public more aware of environmental
conservation and their own plastic consumption. I wish to create
these recycle bins and place them around town; the water bottles
discarded in them would then be collected and used to make more
recycle bins, creating a self-replicating cycle. Eventually, I hope to
return to Costa Rica and encourage them to do the same.
• Enough of opaque trash cans where you can throw your trash away
and never have to face it again! It is time to be TRANSPARENT.

IDEAS TO REALITYTHE NEXT STEPS
WHAT WE NEED
• In order for this project to be a success, we will not only need
guidance and public support, but funding as well. The funding would
be used for the maintenance of the recycle bins and the collection of
bottles on a consistent basis so we can make new ones.
• It would also be used to fund our trips back to Costa Rica as Youth
Ambassadors so we can carry out our last step: creating
environmental awareness in beautiful Costa Rica by building these
recycle bins and setting them up there (first in Uvita).
• There are undoubtedly going to be unforeseen challenges, but with
the right guidance, I’m sure we can overcome any obstacles!
ONESPARK
• This is going to be our first year at OneSpark and we are very
excited to be attending this event. We look forward to not only the
opportunity to showcase our idea and get our message out, but also
meet and network with the myriad of other innovators and Creators
showcasing their projects!
• It is so wonderful to be a part of the thriving creative community we
have in Jacksonville, and we are sure that we will be both teaching
and learning new things while we are there.
Spark On!
