With the current times of the pandemic, people are staying closer to home more than ever.
Staying home more creates more chores at home. More cleaning. More trash. More recycling. Do you know about Plastic Free July? In this movement, people are looking for ways to reuse, repurpose and recycle their plastic bottles and containers. Here are a few tips with videos from 5 Minute Crafts Recycle channel on YouTube. Try a few of them this month and see what you can do to reduce your plastic consumption.
