Like any serious presidential hopeful, Albert James is already working on his campaign platform. Never mind that he can’t actually run until 2036. While he waits, Albert, a fourth grader at Park Lodge Elementary School, is busy coordinating his school’s TerraCycle program, a brigade to recycle products that are used in every home. He got the idea last fall from an advertisement on the back of a Capri Sun box. Intrigued by the prospect of raising money for his school, Albert set off on a mission. “He came to me and said ‘Mrs. Parrish, I really want to help the environment and help our school be better recyclers,’ ” said his teacher, Cathy Parrish.
