Sustainable Coastlines - Plastic Recycling Artwork

Once again Sam and the incredible team at Sustainable Coastlines have put together another great Education day for the kids showing them a great presentation on the impact of plastic to the waterways, and subsequently to the ocean marine life.  Although the weather was rain then shine they delivered a great day of recycling different coloured plastic to make pieces of artwork that the kids could take home.

They each were presented with a sheet of wood that they could glue their plastic to, and built up great art pieces.

Good friends of Freya and Blake, Ruby & Hamish Douglas also came along to have some fun!

Sustainable Coastlines - Upcycling

All my life I have been interested in what is now called Upcycling.  Meaning mainly that you are 're-using' something that would normally be rubbish, and giving it an extended life so to speak.

The Sustainable Coastlines team have collected thousands of plastic bottles, and thought a great use would be to make planters or bird feeders for the kids to take home.  Both Freya and Blake chose to make planters, as they wanted to grow parsley for more pesto!
