Soda Cans And Tabs

by Noel on October 22nd, 2007


There is more to that soda can you are holding right now. You think it may all just be about that refreshing liquid inside it that you love to drink all the time. May it be a Coke, or a Pepsi, or a Sprite, or a Mountain Dew, or a Dr. Pepper, or whatever it is you love, those soda cans have got more to offer than you know.

Did you know that you can also help out other people with soda cans? Yes, you have read that right. Even right after you have finished the drink inside the can, you still can help out other people. You may look at the can as useless but these cans can be recycled so as to lessen the great amount of junk that our world already has.

And, if you would take the tab out of that soda can, just collect all of these can tabs. When you have collected around a thousand of those tabs, you can donate them to the hospital. The hospital needs tabs because they can create one wheelchair out of those tabs.

    You can mail them to me. I don’t make wheelchairs, but my 5 year old daughter and I like to make clothing, belts and jewelry from them. :)

    Is there any way to get a listing of hospitals where you can turn the tabs into?
