The Problem

My wish is to recycle wine corks to keep them out of the landfills. I want to sell the corks and send the funds to The Save the Chimps Foundation in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Our Plan

I have been collecting wine corks from friends, family and neighbors. I collected over 1500 wine corks and sold them on Ebay. The money I earned from selling my corks, I sent to Save the Chimps Foundation in Fort Pierce, Florida. My funds have been used to purchase bananas, blankets, laundry soap and toys for the chimps who live at the sancutary.
