Sesame Street: Recycling Aluminum Cans
If you’re watching videos with your preschooler and would like to do so in a safe, child-friendly environment, please join us at www.sesamestreet.org Cans go to a plant to get made into new cans. Sesame Street is a production of Sesame Workshop, a nonprofit educational organization which also produces Pinky Dinky Doo, The Electric Company, and other programs for children around the world.
Melissa McGinnis with Greenopolis TV visits John Burroughs High School to learn about the environmental club’s “Recycling Wrapper Revolution”. These students created a program to raise awareness that candy wrappers should be collected and recycled. Just in time for Halloween the 2 week drive starts and the club hopes to collect a lot on candy wrappers that ordinarily would have been thrown away. They hope the message about recycling more items every day like candy wrappers will have a lasting effect. John Borroughs high school is famous for academic excellence and their choir which a “little” show called Glee has been developed after. But there’s a new club here on campus that’s about to get a lot of attention – the Environmental Club! They’ve started a program called the recycling wrapper revolution. Because they wanted to highlight the fact that not only can wrappers be recycled during Halloween, but all year. They will place these boxes around campus in different locations, that are easily visible, and decorated with various wrappers. They’ll broadcast the event to the whole school on their usual morning show and tell them to bring their candy wrappers from Halloween and put them in the little, handy bins. They’ll also announce this project on loudspeakers at major events so that everyone is aware. The news editor of the school paper will also be writing about this to publicize it even more. They will act as embassadors and inform other students that they can put in …
Mistake 1: Never wash the can because the? waste.
Mistake 2: Put the cans in the bag so you won’t loss any.
Mistake 3: Keep the cans, don’t ever give them away
Just want to add my 2 cents here since I am the one who made this film. It is desirable to wash the used cans before recycling because in many households, especially in urban areas, storage space for recycled storage is in the home and people don’t want to draw bugs or odors in their homes.
@GreenArrow1616 YOU DUMBASS its not about cleaning the cans, its about keeping the storage area’s clean. we clean cans n shit b4 we put them into the tote to keep the tote clean, not the cans. always gotta be a hardass on the internet when you dont know shit.
Nice Learning Video, I remember older episodes, always really liked sesame street.
@KjvYaBoyIsHere Its going to get clean when they melt it you dumbass. I was talking about washing your can in the sink even though its going to get dirty when you recycle cuz none of the cans are clean! GOSH

My, my, my!!! I’m truly impressed @ how somebody w/ such an extremely tiny brain can come up w/ such huge words!!!
Hey, don’t knock it. Down syndrome is a kind of autism, and autistic people, such as I, have a strangely high intellect.
u dont have to wash the can because they’ll boil it down and kill all the bad liquid away anyways…
What’s with this down syndrome kid talking?

I made this film and I used my friend’s kids. They do not have a staff of filmmakers, or at least they did not when I made this film. I am independent.
my old man sells aluminum cans for scrap
then he buys beer with the money
then he gets drunk and rumages thru the neighbors trash for more aluminum
then he sells that for more beer
it’s an endless cycle
the old man really needs a job
very good point.
The music is brilliant. Great clip. Thanks!
twisty straw! haha!
