I live in Russia. In our country, people can't recycle something, because we don't have separate garbage collection. We put everything to one garbage can. Per person per day, about 30 kg of garbage and waste, though the dynamics of growth of about 7% per year. And out of this situation, perhaps the only one - to establish an efficient and stable system of recycling all types of waste. I am a Greenpeace volunteer, on spring and fall we plant trees. Trees are our life, our oxygen! I decide to save our planet green. I started to collect paper and then bring it to recycle point. Then I saw that many people also want to collect the trash, but they all too lazy to take all collecting paper and bring it to recycling point or they don` t have time. In Russia we don`t have special garbage cans for paper. If you want to recycle separate garbage, you need to take it everything, find this the recycling collection point and give it to them. So it is huge problem! We can`t go green because in our country is nothing adjusted for this. My dream is to set the "barrels" in the apartments of ordinary people, to take paper on a special car and bring it to a collection point for recycling.
"Stock of oxygen" is an opportunity for residents to start small - to collect paper for recycling and to save trees and oxygen in our planet.

Problem

I need: 1.a 1-ton cargo vehicle; 2.driver-loader; 3.web-site; 4.special "barrels" for collecting paper; 5.rent of garage for storage of the collected papers; 6.Administrator
