Help me make a difference.

Thanks to a post I read the other day I got a GREAT idea, so far I've got my flyer all typed up and I plan on passing it on and receiving donations to buy acres of rainforest, I'm going to set up donation cans & a stack of flyers in offices, the end of lunch lines, vending lines, restaurant checkouts, & as many businesses as possible so people can drop their change in there, pick up a flyer, & possibly send a generous donation.
One acre of land only costs 70 pounds ( around 143 US dollars).
So I'm very excited as I think this will REALLY work, but If any of you can think of any other ideas I would love to generate some ideas around and get some thoughts going on how to keep this fresh in peoples minds instead of it fading away like every good cause seems to do.
Yeahh, I hear where your coming from, the site I'm buying it from is coolearth.com but I live in a really small community and I thought that I could set up the cans in school,but if I gave the site and they went and donated individually it wouldn't be as motivating as donating as a community and then seeing all the results and number of acres in the paper and getting recognition PLUS with the jars you can give the 20 cents in your pocket instead of the site where 20 cents seems like nothing.
But I also was going to talk to some local businesses, like the coffee shop to have a bucket by the register, it's a hard to say no to a kid, and if someone drops 50 cents into the bucket they're most likely going to pick up a flyer and read about it, that's why I [tried] to make it interesting. And then the people who cared could send a donation. The actual flyer will have my address.
Well anyway, sorry this is so long, tell me what you think after this.

I'm sooo sorry!
I meant to say coolearth.org
I'm so used to it being .com.
Again, I'm sorry.

I have already retyped my flyer and got all the final details, with the help of Monmac1 I added a few things, as soon as my dad gets home we'll set up a paypal account then I can add all the final details to the flyer and post it to get yalls opinion then I'll go through everything else on my to do list and we'll be done.
Then I can start the whole process, I definitely need more meditating after expanding my local project, but I'm very much thankful!
You guys are amazing!
