You may have to use this link at home. I can’t get the pictures to work.

For too many years we have lived with the idea that throw-away items are better. In the past we drank our water and sodas from glasses that could be washed, now we habitually use throw away plastic bottles even at home. We find that it is easier to use paper plates than china that can be washed and reused. We diaper our babies in disposables instead of cloth diapers that can, again, be washed and reused.

Your assignment is to take any object (s) that are thrown away and create something useful or artistic with them. The sky is the limit. No you may not cut the top off a plastic water bottle and use it as a pencil holder. I’m looking for much more than that. Brainstorm and be creative. This can be an item that is useful at home, it can be wearable, or portable.
