Plastic Bottles
Sorry, I can't find the previous topic on plastic waste.Just had this sent to me through Facebook. They can't get enough in Durban, South Africa. Using them to make owl and bat houses plus thousands and thousands of natural , burglar proof beehives ! Don't ask how because I don't know, but I thought it is an interesting concept and wondered if the UK could do something similar.
Could we and would we need so many ?

Plastic bottles, we need all of them. If its made from plastic and looks anything like these samples, we can use them. We were initially looking for around 200 tons for the year, that has now gone up to 600 tons.
We have hundreds of schools and companies already collecting, we need hundreds more.
If your company would like to be a drop off point, please leave a comment, it is a great way to meet thousands of new clients. If you are collecting already and need the closest drop off point then please follow our posts, we will update them every other day.
This is such an exciting project for us and we have received unbelievable support, lets all save our oceans!

Of course, wild blueberry. it is for sharing.
Whether they need more bee hives for the Elephant and Bees project in Africa could be the reason they will be making so many.
Elephant and Bees project is placing bee hives on the perimeter of villages in an attempt to stop the elephants encroaching into the villages. Elephants don't like bees, and although a new idea,it seem to be working well, both in Africa and India. Plus, the villages will get their own honey.

Re: Plastic Bottles
Lovely idea, except there is barely anything to put in those bottles right now:https://www.reuters.com/article/us-s...-idUSKBN1F51DC
