Talk to Senior citizens at local senior centers about recycling water bottles and stop buying water in small bottles.
Let seniors know how important it is to recycle water bottles and not just throw them in the trash. Also let them know if they insist on buying water buy it in gallon containers and reuse a cool colorful water bottle you can find in most stores. It is cheaper and will reduce the amount of plastic in landfills. Let them know they make many things out of water bottles like boards for decking, and many other things. Also let them know they can save hundreds of dollars per year by either buying water in gallon containers or get afilter that fits the kitchen faucet and fill up their own larger water bottles and a small one for trips to the local senior center or for their walks.
Preparation
- Show photos of land fills with piles of plastic water bottles, them show them photos of things made out of plastic water bottles if they recycle them they will feel a big part of saving our planet and making something useful out of recycled plastic.
