Toys From Trash


The world as we know it, is changing. In many ways we have no real choice in the matter. But for a large part we can act as active citizens of the planet and take time to make better use of the materials we still have around us, in a more sustainable fashion. Lets take example from these young Kenyans.These boys are not in a position to purchase toys the way in which western children can. So instead have taken old plastic bags, newspapers and sisal string to make a soccer ball. The act of creating such an item out of nothing more than landfill is not only educational and sustainable but also far more rewarding than buying a poorly made,borderline disposable toy off a global-bully's shop shelf. If only people in the western world could take a lesson from those less fortunate and make do with what they have...Child's play isn't it?
