Transform old plastic into wallets and more with Arts & Crafts and Stewards of Sustainability clubs Saturday

Wednesday, March 6th, 2024

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.

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
