"There are several places in the ocean where plastic has collected in giant piles, endangering animals that live nearby. Not much could be better for the environment than reducing the amount of plastic thrown away, especially if it's reused well. In this book, readers find crafts that beautify plastic containers, bottles, and more for use as gifts, decorations, and jewelry. Simple step-by-step instructions guide readers through each project as well as provide chances for each crafter's creativity to shine through."
