Little Star trophy that contains an average of 51 grams of unrecyclable plastics

Congratulations to our 2022 award winners! “The Good Neighbor Award” honors Key Biscayne Students who display superior personal character and good will. “The Giving Tree Award” honors Key Biscayne Teachers who give all there is to give. “The Principal of the Year” recognizes the educator that creates a nurturing environment for their students and teachers.

Each winner received a handmade Little Star trophy that contains an average of 51 grams of unrecyclable plastics farmed from our beaches & communities. That is a total of 2.9 pounds of unrecyclable plastic transformed into a cherishable keepsake.

Thanks to supporters like the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce and Key Biscayne Community Foundation, Free Plastic has been able to successfully recycle 33.9 kilograms of unrecyclable plastics. That is the equivalent of over 66,000 plastic straws or 3,400 single use plastic water bottles.
