The “We Can Initiative”™ For Sponsors

An Exclusive Recycling Initiative & Publication Catering to the New York City Community

What is it? •



The We Can Initiative's goal is to create a publication that raises local concerns and awareness of the environment in and around the New York City area. We will be raising most of our money through sponsorships, advertising, and a recycling program. The recycling program consists of incentive-based advertising for local restaurants, eateries, hospitals and any establishment that contains excess recyclable goods, which are not being recycled. In return for the advertisement we ask for their recyclable goods, not their dollars. The money that we raise will be donated to local charities and organizations that are involved with helping to better the community and the environment. Aside from the money they will receive, we will have an ongoing interactive role with them throughout the year. This initiative will create "buzz" all over New York as the new and innovative way to encourage recycling and build environmental awareness. The upcoming bi-annual publication will be created by AVI Publishing INC., and will be an exclusive publication that will be distributed all over the New York City area. The magazine will feature articles and editorials about recycling, the environment, and various initiatives that New York City, its organizations and corporations such as YOU are taking on.
