Plastic bottle re-use & recycling ideas from Africa - Video
Lorna from Uganda shows various uses for plastic drinks bottles
Lorna from Uganda shows how they re-use plastic drinks bottles on their small rural farm in Kumi. From solar lights to drip irrigation, the bottles make themselves very useful in all aspects of life. Use of locally available resources is one of Send a Cow’s principles as it creates uses out of things that are often seen as waste. Watch the video (or use the Powerpoint below) with your class and why not have a design competition for the most ingenious uses for bottles. Then send them in to us (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) and we will put the best ones on our website!
