Tabs From Your Booze For Dialysis Please
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
People of the internet, I'm calling on you to help save the planet and children who need dialysis.
My youngest cousin has taken on this mission and is collecting the tabs off the top of cans for charity. Her school has organised a competition around it to motivate the kids, and the top 3 contributors are treated to morning tea at Oslers.
Currently she's coming second with ~2,600 tabs. The kid in the lead has 13,000+* on the last count. There's little chance she'll ever win this year, but we want to keep her in the top 3. You know, for the sick children, not the free pie (and cake!).
So, think you could hold onto your tabs before sticking your cans out for recycling? (You do recycle don't you?) If you make a sizable donation to her cause you'll be in line for one of the cutest hand-made thank-you cards in the world. And it's not hard to collect them.
This morning on my walk home from town I scavenged through Newtown's recycling bins. I'm not asking you to do the same (but if you're drunk it's highly encouraged), but every little bit counts.
We're organising a group to head up to the recycling station at the dump, so if you're keen to come along and have a laugh please drop me a line. Depending on ages I'll try and shout everyone a drink at one of the Locals, I'll buy the young'uns a coke or something. It might sound weird, but with good weather it'll make for a good afternoon!
If you're not in Wellington, but wanna help out, flick me an email and I'll give you a postal address. If it's parcel-size (yes please!) I'll reimburse postage. I promise.
My contact email if you don't already have it is:
*They went through the Wairoa landfill the weekend before my cousin tried. But we've got Wellington. Ha.

And yeah, we get how silly it is to encourage the collection of beer-related stuff for helping kids with liver problems. Could be worse, with all the coke cans in Newtown they could be used for supporting kids with diabetes.
