Win-Win
I have started to collect plastic bottle caps. If you live in Chisinau, you should, too!
The International Women's Club of Moldova collects the caps for the Regina Pacis Foundation.
Regina Pacis Foundation sells the plastic caps to a local factory where they are recycled into closures for pipes. With the money raised, the Regina Pacis Foundation provides hot lunches for 200 elderly people.
60 bottle caps = 1 loaf of bread!

You can recycle plastic and help feed the hungry at the same time. A win-win!
If you are not already involved with the program, I would be happy to receive your caps and deliver them at our next IWCM meeting. Thanks!!
