Earth Day--Hooray! - Stuart J. Murphy

Earth Day is on the way and Ryan Luke and Carly have a plan. If they manage to collect and recycle 5 000 aluminum cans they can make enough money to buy some beautiful flowers for nearby Gilroy Park. CAN they do it? Counting the cans gives Ryan Luke and Carly -- along with readers -- a lesson in place value. And facts about recycling throughout the story will help readers understand how important it is to take care of the earth.
