Megan MacMurray and Angela Pablo recognized this problem, and hope to change our behavior through Project Garden Electric. As part of this activity, they’ve focused on plastic bags, hoping to draw attention with their plastic wall flowers tutorial and get people to begin reducing, and if not reusing, recycling their plastic bags. You can view their full wall flower tutorial on Instructables.

]]> Although we haven’t personally asked him, Santa is obviously a fan of recycling. He’d be mighty impressed at the recycle flakes made by Chanelle and her daughter.
