Children eco-entrepeneurs are doing good for the environment

I had a smile cover my face as I read this article today:
Pair’s recycling business reaps fresh rewards
Family affair: The Beach brothers, 6 and 8, work with their father to earn experience and cash.

The two children started their business, called “Tree Huggers”, in North Logan, Utah, with their Dad’s help.

They sort the paper, glass, metal, Styrofoam and plastic materials for 11 customers in their North Logan neighborhood. With Dad’s help, they then truck the goods to Utah State University’s Recycling Center. The boys aren’t getting rich from their eco-enterprise, but they are gaining a wealth of experience.
They are learning about responsibility, cooperation, customer service, and time and money management.

The neighbors are ecstatic over this venture and fully supportive. The business will continue until a recently adopted county recylcing ordinance is implemented. The boys then plan to adapt by collecting glass and and chopping wood.
