“Critters Don’t Need Litter”

Magic Pots :& Recycled Bottles Reduce Recycle Reuse

Inventive While cleaning up litter, a wacky clean-up lady begins to play with newly found trash treasures. What should be saved? How might it be recycled? Inspired she decides to “recycle” old trash into puppets and “recycle” old folktales into a script. Using household objects and discards, she builds an ingenious set. Trash cans and recycling bins define hills and valleys. Brushes and brooms are "used over" as trees in the forest. Feather dusters fill the garden. Plastic bottles pulled from the recycling bin transform into puppets. “TIDE” the cow, “KODAK” the bee, and “MINUTE MAID” the good fairy are a few of the imaginative characters created from like containers. Wacky & Fun

Did you know……. Americans use more than fourteen billion paper cups every year, enough to circle the world fifty-five times. The Styrofoam kind will stay on the planet for nine generations, enough time for your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandkids to be born.

Did you know….. By eliminating plastic bags, plastic utensils, disposable containers, paper napkins, and those brown paper bags you could have $250 a year and as much weight in waste as the average nine-year-old. Instead use a reusable lunchbox, reusable drink containers, cloth napkins and silverware.
