OUR INITIATIVES: Turning Small Acts Into Big Change
At One More Bag of Trash, each initiative is a pathway to a cleaner, safer planet. Explore how you can take part.
From neighborhoods to newsfeeds, we believe change should happen everywhere. Our initiatives give people of all ages and backgrounds simple ways to make a positive impact in their lives and communities, one more bag of trash at a time.
Cleaning Our Planet - one more bag of trash at a time
One More Bag of Trash is a federally recognized, non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging and empowering parents, children, and everyone to clean our planet, one more bag of trash at a time. Using our online presence, we intend on gaining volunteers from around the world to clean their local communities. With trash affecting our entire planet and global ecosystems, we are counting on volunteers to join in from any and all countries and help this mission to reach as far as the trash does. Our goal is to create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations. Join us in our endeavor to make a positive impact on the world. Together, we can make a difference.
Cleaning Your Feeds - one more video at a time
Along with our mission to clean the physical planet, One More Bag of Trash has another goal; to clean the social media feeds of our DIGITAL planet! Our digital world has been overrun by trashy content, just like our physical world with physical trash. So many people have resorted to forfeiting their morals and values in a never-ending search of online fame, money, or stardom. These poor habits online seem to have invaded reality, and each generation seems more disconnected to the planet than the last. Each and every piece of content created by this organization will be aimed to be family-friendly and promote good acts every single day. We will create purpose-driven content as we hope to gain a following online. When our audience watches our content, the time spent watching is never wasted, and the content itself will aim to end the scrolling cycle.
Influencing the Next Generation - one more child at a time
As we perform missions around the community, people of all ages get to watch and enjoy the results of our effort. One of the most important age groups of this mission is the CHILDREN! Every time a child sees one of our volunteers cleaning THEIR community, the child learns a lesson in teamwork, community, and responsibility. On top of that lesson, so many children have already volunteered to help! When a child puts their own effort into cleaning trash left by another, they gain a sense of ownership and pride towards their community. This ownership and pride will grow with that child into adulthood, and add to the well-rounded lifestyle that people should aspire to. We have made it a mission to influence as many children to become positive impacts in their communities as possible.
Empowering the Planet - one more purchase at a time
My first grabber was not one that I purchased. I was empowered by fate to find an abandoned grabber at a park once with my family. After having the grabber and realizing the access it gave me towards doing good things, I knew one of our core missions needed to be empowering other people as well. This is why every single purchase from our store will allow us to empower another person who volunteers physically. For every grabber sold, one grabber will be donated. Proceeds from other purchases will allow for grabber or merchandise donations as well. By empowering more people to do the right thing, we will make genuine change to our planet.
Funding Our Future, one more dollar at a time
Fueling the mission together.
One More Bag of Trash is committed to financial transparency while we work towards changing the world. We have a very strict plan in place for how our impact will grow and develop over time. Continue reading to see a full breakdown of how we intend to raise funds, use funds, and reward those that are working hardest.
One of our biggest strategies of how we intend to monetize this mission is to create a massive following online. With enough people watching and supporting our content, we intend on monetizing the channels and earning from the platforms themselves. We intend on hosting virtual fundraising campaigns for the followers of each platform to accelerate our impact. Along with directly donating, our supporters can sponsor cleanups, contests, and equipment for other people around the world.
Every dollar raised for this charity will be funneled into an established bank account, whether the funds are private donations, sponsorships, grants, online tips, etc. Any moneys found, or cash tips received, in the actual act of grabbing belong to the grabber who found/earned them.
Once an income has been established, funds will be used strictly for the following purposes:
Platform Fees - As we create our virtual space, there are costs associated with using many platforms. Funds will be applied to these platforms to verify our accounts, protect our integrity, and promote our missions online.
Online Incentives - As we continue to grow our channels, part of the business model will be to incentivize our online audience to continue supporting. We will host contests online, where user engagement can enroll them to win prizes related to our mission. Prizes could include but are not limited to: digital gift cards, grabbing equipment, branded merchandise, online promotion and much more.
Volunteer Incentives - A huge part of this organization will be the people around the world donating their strength to our mission. We refer to these powerful people as "Strength Supporters." Volunteers who actually perform cleanups or services for our cause will be first in line to receive rewards related to our mission. These rewards could be financial compensation, grabbing equipment, branded merchandise, online promotion, and much more.
Member Compensation - As the charity itself grows in size and responsibility, there will be organizational roles filled to exponentially increase the reach and impact of our cause. When those roles are needed and filled, the person filling them will be compensated financially to a degree deemed reasonable by our board. No member of this charity shall be compensated more than $100,000.00 USD in any given financial year, regardless of the size of the charity or amount of funds raised.
Services - There may be times when One More Bag of Trash needs to hire the services of a professional in a different field. This could include but is not limited to; a legal team, graphic designers, actors, insurances etc. These services will always be deemed crucial towards operation or growth, and will be reasonably priced.
Any person supporting our cause can give recommendations of how their donation is applied. Examples of this could be:
"$25.00 donated to host an online share contest."
"$500 donated to host a grabbing contest."
"10,000.00 donated. $1,000.00 to sponsor grabbing equipment/ $1,000.00 to host a contest/ $3,000.00 to use as needed" or even "1,000,000.00 donated to change the whole world!"
"Every single contribution will help, and I personally assure you that they will not be wasted!"
