The idea is simple: kids can sit on the bench if they\u2019re being bullied or feeling lonely, to indicate to teachers and students that they need some support or someone to play with.<\/p>\n<p>And this wasn\u2019t just any old bench, it would be made out of melted-down recycled plastic bottle caps to raise awareness about recycling and caring for our environment. Zachary got a local business, Kellum Imprints and Printing, on board to help, who said they needed 250 pounds (113kg) of plastic lids for every bench and set out to collect the lids, including on litter pick-up hikes with his family. He also appeared on WAVE 3 television station to share his story and, touched by his kindness and positive action, they helped him to collect even more plastics for the Buddy Bench.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-testimonials classic awb-speech-bubble-show fusion-testimonials-2\" style=\"--awb-textcolor:var(--awb-color8);--awb-backgroundcolor:var(--awb-color2);--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-right:20%;--awb-margin-bottom:40px;--awb-margin-left:20%;--awb-testimonial-border-style:solid;--awb-testimonial-border-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-border-top-left-radius:0px;--awb-border-top-right-radius:0px;--awb-border-bottom-left-radius:0px;--awb-border-bottom-right-radius:0px;--testimonial-border-width-top:0px;--testimonial-border-width-right:0px;--testimonial-border-width-bottom:0px;--testimonial-border-width-left:0px;\" data-random=\"0\" data-speed=\"4000\"><div class=\"reviews\"><div class=\"review active-testimonial male\"><blockquote><div class=\"awb-quote\"><div class=\"awb-quote-content\">\n<p>&#8220;Scouting teaches us to be the best person we can be [&#8230;] and being a Scout, I know that I need to be a leader.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-triangle\"><\/span><\/blockquote><div class=\"author\"><span class=\"testimonial-thumbnail doe\"><\/span><span class=\"company-name\"><strong>Zachary<\/strong><span>, <\/span><span>Cub Scout<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Zachary has delivered three recycled plastic Buddy Benches to school playgrounds since the start of his project and plans to continue.
