Duration
: 30 minutes
All over the world people use and discard empty plastic water bottles. The bottles either add to rubbish heaps or look unattractive when they are thrown in gutters at the side of roads. We should try to reduce the amount of plastic we use and throw away. One way to do this is by refilling a bottle with water from home, rather than buying another bottle each time you are thirsty.
We can also try to reuse bottles, to give them a new life. How many new uses can you find for an empty plastic water bottle?
These are a few suggestions, but add your own to the list.
cut bottom off for a cup
cut top off for a funnel
cut thin bands as bracelets
use to store other liquids (re-label the bottle clearly)
slice the bottom end off to use as a saucer for plant pots
Try making some of your suggested items and use them at home.
