Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials

You can set aside time to recycle, for example. reducing your use of plastic, cleaning up your neighbourhood, and even raising awareness of the need to protect the environment. Reusing and recycling commonplace plastic and paper goods that might otherwise go in the garbage is one such tiny step. To get you motivated to find additional applications for what you (often already have) and convert that rubbish into treasure, we’ve compiled some fantastic Earth Day projects made from recycled materials. This Earth Day, gather the kids and make some simple recycled crafts!
