This might be a good Sustainability focus/project for your school. Watch the video - </div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J7JZcsoHyA" class="">www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J7JZcsoHyA</a><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On his website, Dave has provided all the blueprints for machinery that can be simply constructed, background videos about plastics (including simple tests to identify different types of plastics) and creations that you can make, all presented with a great accent. I think there are lots of opportunities here for good design and problem-solving, and a practical way to upcycle.</div><div class="">All the best</div><div class="">Jill</div></body></html>
