There are many employed people on these forums, and they work for companies. People drink coke and other stuff all the time. So... If they do not want to donate to anyone on the forums, or can't due to financial reasons, why not get cardboard boxes and encourage management to get the employees to put their soda cans and such in the boxes so that the aluminum may be sold to a recycling company?
Many of you on the forums drink beer, how about getting a waste can and crushing your old beer cans and putting them into the waste can until it's full and then sell the aluminum and help others out?
One thing you could do Shadow is get with Sethan, he knows about setting up businesses and stuff and getting everything legit. Set up a charity organization, that way all the donations (up to a certain percentage) are a tax write off for companies and people alike?
Here in Mexico I do as the Germans do, I have a waste can for aluminum and tin and steel, I have another for cardboard, and I have one for plastics (yes people, plastics can be recycled), and I will get one for newspapers as well.
There are over 6k people registered on Taldren, many have moved on, but had we acted collectively, in one month with 5 bucks from each person (a six pack of beer in cost) we could have ended this one person's problem and set her free.
Another option is to all meet in Houston heavily armed with plenty of ammo and invade Halliburton HQ and tell the press that we will hold everyone hostage until Halliburton releases ALL assets to charity and to the people of America.
