Boy, 12, is Recycling Entrepreneur and Generous Philanthropist
By Good News Network Wednesday, June 06, 2012
When Sam Klein was still in kindergarten, he became fascinated with the things we throw away.
Now, at the ripe old age of 12, the missouri boy is a dedicated CEO of his own recycling business. He collects empty printer ink cartridges from local businesses, keeping them from the landfills, while earning hundreds of dollars by sending them back to manufacturers.
Even more impressive, Sam has given more than $1,000 to charity, helping those less fortunate than himself.

Testimonials
My daily habit a year ago was to read the news with my morning coffee. I felt the entire world was falling apart and getting worse day by day. Then I read some research on the effects of bad news, and made a conscious choice to read uplifting stories... Now I’m excited about all the wonderful things around the world, instead of feeling helpless. When I read the stories on GNN I feel empowered, included, and encouraged to get involved. - Kerrie S., OK
