For the glass-is-half-full optimists at Trash for Teaching, an empty, plastic water bottle doesn’t have to be tossed into the blue recycling bin. Instead, it can be turned into a vase — and a lesson in repurposing. The non-profit collects castoff materials from manufacturing operations for use in school arts and crafts programs. It found that standard water bottles fit neatly inside cardboard spools discarded from fabric knitting mills. The vases are thoughtful hostess gifts. They’re $10 each through Trash for Teaching’s online store, trashforteaching.org.
