Every year, 29 billion plastic bottles are produced in the world. Seeing these monstrous figures, a person who cares about his descendants and really evaluates his abilities will ask himself the question: "What can be made from a bottle that has been decomposing for almost 1000 years, that is, in fact, can be considered eternal?" Recycle containers, making them useful or just beautiful thing, everyone can do. So we will at least make the planet cleaner, and the interior of the house or cottage - more attractive.
What will you do first?
It turns out that there are a lot of caring and creative people in the world. Used plastic bottles make creative and useful things: pencil cases, needle cases, piggy banks, vases and frames, garlands, mobile phone cases, bags, brooms, flower pots. Among the most ambitious projects are a yacht and a floating island with a house. Bottles are built into the walls of buildings and make the basis of real furniture. In addition, ordinary plastic containers can be turned into an amazing interior element: various animal and insect figures, panels, children's toys and furniture for them, candle holders and other original decor items will please the eye. And you can decorate the porch and the cottage with colorful "eternal" flowers. Dare, because if we do not, our grandchildren will get only such flowers, and only plastic bees will sit on them.
