A group of 12 high schoolers in Pacific Palisades, California, have launched a world-record attempt to recycle old tennis and pickleballs.
After learning that hundreds of millions of balls end up in landfills each year, these student-athletes created the “Another Bounce” campaign to collect and repurpose sports gear that usually takes centuries to decompose.
They’re now on a mission to collect as many balls as possible — and keep them out of landfills. The final tally will be held at a collection event on April 19th — and we’ll see if they’ve achieved the Guinness World Record they’ve been working toward.
The teens aren’t just picking up equipment. They’re also actively lobbying city councils for new recycling laws — and working with manufacturers to find creative solutions to deal with excess waste.
