DESCRIPTION
Our mission is to empower communities to leap into the future of clean energy.
Design and build planters out of plastic water bottles as a way to combat plastic pollution and waste. Utilize resources available at home, or would otherwise be considered waste, to create a purpose for a plastic bottle, as opposed to dumping into a landfill.
ITEMS NEEDED
- plastic bottle
- tape
- soil
- seeds (If you do not have any packaged seeds, look within your garden for any flowers that contain seeds!)
- twine or string
- water
- ruler
