Lee seperates her trash and tries to make an effort to recycle. She uses reusable bottles and coffee mugs, but she is not an extremist by any means. She is also not shy about expressing her views, especially

Johnny is currently a sophomore at Oyster Bay High School. He just got his drivers liscence, and loves hanging out with his friends. Hes not the busiest in school but he will graduate and likely go to college. His dad works for the state and his mom is a local school administra-tor. He is considered middle-upper middle class.

He grew up with the Iphone and had one since he was 10. He also has an Ipad and a Macbook Pro. He uses all of them mainly for social me-dia, but also for homework and streaming media. He also enjoys doing small graphic design projects for local bands.

Johnny is interested in preserving the enviroment but by no means goes out of his way to recycle. He also tends to drink beverages in plastic bottles and cans, often without recycling them. On the bright side he is against littering.

Just make it super clear and easy for me, maybe with rewards

Larry grew up in Los Angeles. From a young age he has been in an out of jail and on the streets. He makes most of his money from recy-cling. He would be considered lower class, and is currently homeless.

He has had a cell phone on a few occasions and is familiar with how to use it, however he has no experience with smartphones. He occasion-ally will use the computer at the library, but only for basic tasks.

Larry is somewhat of an expert recycler. For over 20 years he has made his living on recyclable goods. He knows how to recycle any-thing and what it is worth. He knows who will buy it and where to find it.

Make it accessible, and make me some money
