So, I thought if I started reusing all the reusable waste items I can create a hobby, and also I can reduce waste. My first craft was bottle art, I felt very interested in doing this. By doing this I learned a new skill and also I learned that this could increase my creativity and make our earth less polluted. I enjoyed doing these crafts and I started doing more.”
