Our mission is to make Indianapolis more eco-friendly by collecting 1.2 million aluminum cans to fund a trip to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. 

Deforestation in Tanzania is removing too many trees from Mt Kili.  Tourists and inhabitants alike have polluted the mountain with trash affecting the climate and destroying the current ecosystem of the global icon.  

Luckily, it is not too late.  In the fall of 2019, a team of 4 from Indianapolis will be climbing for change.  The journey will start by planting indigenous trees at the base of the mountain.  After summiting, the climbers will collect trash on their way back down, recycling it properly before returning home.  

And you too CAN make a difference - with cans!  In order to fund this carbon neutral journey and inspire good habitats at home simultaneously, Elle, Anderson, Megan, Brian, Colleen, and Christina will collect 1.2 million aluminum cans to be sold for scrap metal.   


Want to assist this adventure?  You CAN make your city more green by collecting cans and donate the money to this page to support in our effort!  Make sure to share your experiences below so we can measure our impact! 

So green that you have no cans to collect?  We will gladly accept your monetary green too!  

Thank you so much for your support in this climb!

Dilly, Dilly, 

The Cans for Kili Team



*NOTE: $23,625 is the monetary value of recycling 1.2 million cans. This number was determined based on full expenses of our carbon-neutral journey.
