Welcome to the Discovery Green Team's World Record Attempt!

WE DID IT! WE COLLECTED 657 POUNDS OF PLASTIC BOTTLES ON SATURDAY APRIL 19TH!

Over the next couple weeks, we will be putting together our submission packet to submit to the Guinness Book of World Records. Once receiving our materials, Guinness will determine if they will accept the amount we collected as a new record. We expect that this will take 6-8 weeks once our materials are received.

Guidelines

Official Guidelines

The record for the most plastic bottles collected in one or eight hours is based on the weight of the plastic bottles collected within the designated time period.

Only containers made of plastic collected individually and by hand will be accepted (any plastic container that once contained a liquid beverage- i.e. water, soda, 2-liter, juice, Gatorade). We will NOT be collecting milk jugs or other plastic bottles made from the same type of plastic.
All plastic bottles must be used and empty so that a genuine recycling process is taking place.
The plastic bottles should be collected within a specified area or location.
There is no limit to the number of people involved in the collecting process.
Once all plastic bottles have been collected they must be taken to a scale that has been previously certified and assessed as being adequate for the standards of the record.
Two independent witnesses must be present to verify the guidelines were followed and the final total weight of the plastic bottles collected.

Here are some ways that you can get involved!

Start collecting your plastic bottles! This includes plastic water bottles, plastic juice bottles, and any other plastic bottle of that sort. Please keep them at your house until April 19th when we will be collecting them for the world record!
Do you know a reputable member of the community? We are looking for several people to stand in as witnesses for our exciting day! If you know of a pastor, city council member, firefighter, police officer, or any other community member that you think would be interested in joining us for a few hours or even the whole day, please let us know! The only rule is that he/she can not be associated with Discovery Elementary.
3. Do you have a contact for us to get publicity? We have already contacted Ellen DeGeneres to see if she is interested in spreading the word about being green! We are looking to get the message out to as many people as we can to help reduce our impact on the environment.
Come be a part of a new world record! Join us on April 19th from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm and bring your plastic bottles!
