GoGreenMan Battles Fast Food Chains

A 12-year-old challenges big fast food chains to start recycling

Twelve-year-old Jonathan Leecreator of the superhero is a preteen on a mission: To get big fast food chains to recycle.

The packages you see behind me came from 10 popular restaurants that many people eat at, he says, in , standing in front of a wall of garbage. And did you know they didnt recycle?! he shouts.

Hes taking his case up the government ladder. So far, the enthusiastic Lee has spoken with Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) about his issue with fast food waste. And just last week, he posted a video on CNNs asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid whether he would support a national fast food recycling program.

The role of advocate isnt new for Lee; hes been fighting for the environment since he watched a show about global warming when he was 10. He uses GoGreenManand the superheros unending fight against Dr. Pollutionto get his peers interested in the cause.

GoGreenMan, armed with a wind energizer, a solar sun shield and a hydro hipster, teams up with and several others. They battle the evil .

With this cause, Lee faces an uphill struggle, but he seems ready for the fight. How come restaurants arent recycling? he asks emphatically. Pause. The GoGreenMan investigation will continue.
