Join us for
this month's Sustainability Saturday! Our most recycled waste in the U.S. is
paper and cardboard – but over half of what we throw away still ends up in the
landfill. The best thing about paper is that you can just use your old scraps
to make more, so that is exactly what we plan to do! We cut a lot of paper for
crafts, so we want to put our waste to use! Bring seeds, flower petals,
confetti, pet hair/lint, or anything else you can think of to add to your paper
– you can keep what you make once it dries!
