I grabbed this book off of our library’s ‘theme of the month’ display. This isn’t a ‘how to’ craft book, but has several full size photographs of environmentally savvy artist’s creations.
In my classroom, I collected Crayola marker caps for awhile. First graders have a hard time remembering to snap them on the marker, which results in dried out markers, therefore I have a baggie filled with rainbow bright plastic. I was never sure what to do with them, in Cool Green Stuff, there is an ingenius use for several of such plastic pieces. Naulila Luis from Portugal created a hand bag using such marker tops. Beautiful!
Another favorite are the climate change bloomers. They have a picture of earth on them and when your panties get warm, the earth turns blue – to symbolize the earth being over taken by water as the climate continues to change. What a trip!
Such whimsical exciting ideas here. Read for inspiration for your own crafts, or to buy a birthday present for the person who has everything, or treat yourself – you’ll be treating Mother Nature too.
