Zero to Five Million in 55 minutes

According to "The Good Human" Americans throw away 1,500 cans a second. A second! Man, this should make my project easy. That means, if I collected all those cans people threw away (not to mention plastic or glass bottles) I could make my five million can goal in 3333.3 seconds, or 55 minutes, 33.3 seconds. I kind of wish we weren't throwing away so much valuable material, but just look how much is out there and how much we can reuse and save!
