00:00Found it! There is the green bin down in the basement. We're at Chevron Renaissance.

00:06We have got some bottles to put in the containers for change.

00:10So Spica is my new buddy for bottle selecting.

00:15So containers for change is so great! Like it is so easy.

00:21What they've got is, well they've got a few different options here on the goalpost,

00:25but this is what's called a reverse vending machine.

00:28So you can't beat it. When you sign up for containers of change, it's so easy.

00:33You can either put in your preferred charity, put in your PayPal, or put in your bank account.

00:38And I did sign up for it. It takes like, honestly, less than 10 minutes.

00:43You know how people say, signing up for something takes, you know, 10 minutes,

00:47and you roll your eyes because like three hours later you're doing passwords.

00:50It was so easy to just put in your details, you get a membership number,

00:54you then go to a reverse vending machine,

00:57you put some bottles in and they pay you.

01:00Like it is the best system in the world.

01:02So we are here. So I'm going to scan.

01:05Oh, and Spencer, he is my bottle collecting buddy.

01:09And he's really happy right now because I promised him ice cream.

01:13So he has his ice cream.

01:15But yeah, this is fantastic. Like you honestly can't beat it with a stick.

01:19Yeah, I know, darling. This is how containers can change.

01:23Oh, and the icing on the cake, you're doing something good for the environment.

01:28Like you really can't beat this program. It's really, really good.

01:32So it's so easy with the reverse vending machine.

01:37So you put in your member number. So I've got to put in my member number.

01:41And then you feed the bottles into this machine. So very exciting.

01:46Okay.

01:47I want you to treat it.

01:48I want you to treat it, huh?

01:49I want you to treat it.

01:50I want you to treat it.

01:51Okay, and then press stop.

02:21Oh, now we are putting some bottles in.

02:39Yeah, you're very good at this now.

02:41Push it in.

02:47Oh, high five.

02:49What a terrific job.

02:51Now, do you want to go?

02:51I've finished.

02:54Press it again.

03:01Ah, please wait.

03:03Look.

03:04No, no, we've pressed it, darling.

03:05We've already pressed it.

03:07Look.

03:08We don't need an electronic receipt.

03:10We will just leave that.

03:11That's so cool.

03:13Look.

03:14You put in a bottle.

03:15Ten cents.

03:18Thanks for supporting Containers for Change.

03:21That is so cool.

03:25Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.

03:29Ah, so glass bottles don't not accept it here.

03:33Okay.

03:33That is so cool.

03:37That is awesome.

03:38That's how easy it is.

03:40You just, you just sign up.

03:42It takes like so, this is actually the first time I've used this machine here, but I did

03:47know that it's so easy to use.

03:49That, that is really simple.

03:51So you just sign up, takes less than 10 minutes, and I'm not very good with technology.

03:55So it took, if it took me less than 10 minutes, it'll probably take someone else five minutes.

04:01And then you just bring your plastic bottles to a machine like this, and they're going to

04:05put that money straight into wherever you, you nominate, whether it's your favorite charity

04:10or whether it's your bank account or whether it's PayPal.

04:13How easy is that?

04:14And the icing on the cake, like I said before, doing something good for the environment.

04:19And that really matters to me.

04:21Yeah, we're going to go down.

04:22That really matters to me because I want to leave these kids, well, this one and my daughter,

04:27as good a planet as we can.

04:28So, come on, is it?
