Transform old plastic into wallets and more with Arts & Crafts and Stewards of Sustainability clubs Saturday
Everyday essentials like grocery bags, food and drink wrappers, Ziplock bags, and packaging add up to a lot of plastic discarded each day! While a small portion of this ends up recycled, most of it winds up in the landfill where it will stay for hundreds of years and never completely decompose.
In the spirit of “reduce, reuse, recycle,” the Arts & Crafts Club and Stewards of Sustainability Club are hosting an upcycling event where we will have a few crafts to create art out of old materials! We will gather from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, March 9, in Brougher Hall.
Projects will include:
- Transforming old plastic packaging into functional wallets, pencil pouches, and jewelry
- Turning plastic grocery bags into yarn for knitting and crocheting
- Using wood scraps to build a bug hotel for the Stewards of Sustainability Club’s garden
All are welcome to join! If you are interested in this event, please sign up here and start collecting (clean) plastic trash to bring!
