The Only Good Use for Plastic Water Bottles!
Plastic water bottles are such a problem for our environment. It takes a lot of energy to process them for recycling. Collection, baling them, trucking them for recycling, cleaning, chipping, melting and re-manufacturing.... and that is the ones that actually get recycled. Many don't end up getting recycled.
If you aren't aware ofthe problem plasic is creating for our world type in Great Pacific Garbage patch in google. It is so nasty.
I was pretty excited to see something beautiful come out of a water bottle... the project is here. I actually used a smaller bottle (the bases of tennis ball containers) than they used in the example, as we didn't have any big bottles around. If you make these, please be sure to recycle the rest of the bottle!
