OUR GOAL

is to create a mechanism to save/collect and Up-cycle the unwanted stuff before it gets melted down, ground up, or buried. Upcycling means putting old materials to new purposes.

This past summer some of the campers came to us saying that they wanted to know how other people could learn what they are learning. Camp Youth Go green organizers arranged for that group of kids to meet with a patent attorney to research their invention idea. They learned about patent documents, the U.S. Patent Office, legal considerations and the cost of obtaining a patent. We now can move onto phase two the patienting process and puting together the marketing material. Please support us by going to the sight below and makeing a contribution.
