| Vivien Kane of Or Chadash created a perfect poster! |
Along with Habonim Dror/Camp Galil, we collected bags of non-biodegradable dry, clean waste and empty bottles.
Kids of all ages, plus parents, seemed really captivated to sit down and stuff bottles, as we pushed them to COMPRESS.COMPRESS.COMPRESS.
We encouraged them to give their bottle bricks the standing test.
Camp Galil is envisioning a project whereby every activity during the year will include a bottle bricking portion, to move to #zerowaste.
At this summer's camp, it may become one of their scheduled daily activities. Eat, sing, bless, and bottle brick. Their large assembly hall needs some accoustical help, and they are considering lining the walls with bottle bricks. This would become a visual testimony to how much waste we generate, and also at what rate, as each column of bottles goes up on the wall. It's a perfect solution to the problem of non-uniform bottle sizes; it's challenging to come up with enough empty bottles all the same shape and size. Eventually they will have enough of any given size for one vertical column, and the columns can each be different size. The more surface area, the more sound absorption, in theory!
Or Hadash also participates in a Plarn Woven Mat project. Plastic bags are cut into strips and tied together, creating PlasticYarn. It was great fun watching these boys absorbed in weaving.
