The CAN House: Pensacola Beach Memorial Day 2008

The CAN House: Memorial Day 2008, Pensacola FL.  The CAN House project is a collaboration of PleaseLITTER.com and Rainbow Production Group, llc. to promote recycling and the green economy while having fun and making profit against the Triple Bottom Line (3BL).

The problem: Traditionally, after the Memorial Day weekend, many hundreds if not thousands of pounds of perfectly good aluminum are carted off to the landfill trashing potential economic and ecologic profits.

This year, Deep Green Technologies, llc and PleaseLITTER.com intend to divert this highly recycleable resource (Technical Nutrient) from the landfill waste stream into the technical resource stream–your next reduced price product.

The Profits (3BL) briefly:

  1. Economy - Aluminum is one of the most reusable Technical Nutrients we have cycling through our economy using only about 5% of the energy used for initial production.
  2. Ecology – How much Landfill do our children need? A 65% reduction in energy use and the green house gases that go along with it. Extraction costs (not just expenses) ….
  3. Community – The CAN House project is designed to involve every body, create awareness and educate. We all benefit. And, when recycled, the Holy Cross Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) will receive the economic donation.

    The petition
    STOP The Bauxite (Aluminum ore) Mining in Jamaica Now.
    Island Jamaica Green Movement
    (THE I.J.G.M) was created with the intention to reflect our true Jamaican values & pride. Our prime objective is to take action, by promoting a cleaner and greener (JM) environment.

    The Aluminum Mining industry in Jamaica is an incredible danger to the environment and the people.

    The pollution from the mining industry effects the air the water,and it also soaks into the soil making the entire area impossible for any life.
    Jamaica also has one of the highest percentage of plant species in danger of extinction in the world.
    Environmental concerns in this ecoregion are characteristic of other populated Caribbean islands. These include deforestation, soil erosion, population pressures, and lack of public awareness concerning conservation. But Bauxite (aluminum ore) mining is a Majer problem for Jamaica, it is still having a massively dangerous and negative impact on the island’s forests, and ecosystem.

    The Bauxite Mining industry in Jamaica is profitable to foreign investors, But dangerous for Jamaica.
    The objectives of the “KEEP JAMAICA GREEN & The I.J.G.M project” are:

    A· To get 300.000 signings for this petition.

    B· To Hand this petition over to the Jamaican Govt,

    C· To raise public awareness about the importance concerning the conservation of our ecosystem in Jamaica.
    This is in order to ensure that our exceptional Jamaican environment is preserved.

    PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION. SIGN IT IF YOU ARE A JAMAICAN. SIGN IT IF YOU ARE A TOURIST. SIGN IT SIMPLY IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT.

    Love Jamaica and Jamaica will love you back.
