We’re always hearing how we as humans are ruining the planet with our waste products. Whether it be plastic pollution or resource depletion, we are undoubtably destroying our planets viability to the extent that thousands of species of plants and animals are in serious and unprecedented danger of extinction.
So why then don’t we try to use some of our waste to benefit these unfortunate species?
Well, here is a fantastic example of how we can, rather than simply throwing out our unwanted products, actually use them to help make a difference – to actually benefit species! This fantastic environmental recycling idea was brought to my attention by my good friend Chloe Marie Bell. It’s so simple, rather than throwing out an unwanted teapot, with a little imagination, this unwanted item would make a fantastic birdbox for smaller bird species such as songbirds; the spout even making an effective drainage system.
An old boot would also work.
If we all take the time to think of alternate uses for our unwanted household items such as Chloe’s ‘teapot birdboxes’, we would effectively be helping wild animals, which in turn, would benefit the planet that we all call our home.
