8 Up-cycled craft ideas for Earth Day 2018
On Sunday, April 22, Australia joins 175 other countries to mark International Earth Day, the world's largest environmental movement. The goal for this year's day of action is to end plastic pollution, by providing the information and inspiration needed to change human attitudes and behaviours about plastics.

Eradicating the use of single use plastics and promoting environmentally sound alternatives has been identified as a primary objective of the campaign. To support this goal, our craft ideas for April incorporate and up-cycle items of single-use plastic.
