This badass woman founded The Can Lady Project, an Indianapolis nonprofit, which has collected more than 20 million cans, raised thousands of dollars for teachers, and works to educate local youth. In 2007, she was inspired to help her community by doing something simple: recycling. Think you can't make a difference? You CAN - just ask the Can Lady. She basically started a recycling initiative that donates field trips and supplies to teachers all funded by cans that you toss and she recycles. Since its inception the project has generated more than $60K in donations. What CAN you do?

"I could sit around, do nothing and complain, or I could get up and do something to get money in the hands of teachers and teach kids about recycling." - Mary Stumpp
