Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
On Monday, one student posed the question: "When is recycling not the best option?" We explored situations where reducing and reusing our use of common objects could be options BEFORE placing objects in the recycling bin.

Leela,
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous ideas! I'd love to see a quilt made out of clothing people don't want anymore. It sounds like something Laura Ingalls Wilder would have done!
Thanks for sharing!
Katie
How about that fabulous 321 rummage sale where you can get some fabulous gently used items? rosemary
ReplyDeleteYou can sew it together and make a table cloth

ReplyDeleteYou could use old clothes to make capes and turn your plain old stuffed animals into super hero stuffed animals.

I think that maybe you could cut it and turn it into cleaning rags, and if you have an old newspaper and some strong glue you can cut out some pieces of clothing and glue it on the paper
ReplyDeleteand make a collage out of it.You can also donate old clothes.Katie,I love your ideas.

These are some incredible ideas! I never thought of turning scraps of clothing into capes for stuffed animals! I bet they could also make great capes for Halloween costumes!
ReplyDeleteKeep brainstorming!

hi katie
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you another way of reusing old cloths.
You can give them away to homeless people or you can send them to my dads program for people who have houses and clothes but little money.
So i was thinking of that because i'm always worrying about homeless or people who have very little money and i always want to help them in a way.
