American Dream is Green

One day I woke up and decided to save the world. I knew it won't be an easy thing to do. I realized I can't sew the ozone holes or stop the emissions of the fuel used today. What I'm going to do so my mission won't fail? I'm only a human. Than I discovered the "red worms" and I knew the world will be saved!
Through a process called "vermicomposting" organic waste is fed to worms and transformed into the best and most complete organic fertilizer in the world. Vermicomposting is a completely natural, odorless way to dispose of garbage. The whole process is utterly fascinating. I want to teach everyone the importance of ONE and power of the TEAM. Each worm bin can process a pound of organic waste daily and I hope to distribute a 100 bins to my community. This will divert 18 tons of garbage from our landfills a year. Worms will produce organic fertilizer which is harmless to any forms of life.
Imagine one thousand bins, and you're diverting 1,800 tons of garbage a year from landfills. Keep counting, and please don't stop. Power of small should not be underestimated. Vermicomposting if done properly can have beneficial impact on our environment. Join me in my quest to save the world.
From prize money I will:
Supply residents within Groveton boundaries with worm bins, hold weekly workshops, obtain a booth at Green Festival, walk to get the prize soliciting media for a green planet.

In a best-case, eventually toxic and non-biodegradable or non-recyclable materials will be government regulated and banned from mass production.
Wishful thinking I guess =/
