The Upcycled Project
Task: Create a product that represents the Three 3’s, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
and YOU.
This means getting creative! This project needs to be made entirely from recycled
materials!
Any of the items we talked about in class that are recycled can be used to create
a recycled product that represents reducing, reusing and recycling, and how it
impacts you! You may also use additional items found around your house to build
your recycled project.
This project is due the Tuesday after break, 2/27/18!
On Tuesday you will present your project and explain how your recycled item
represents reducing, recycling and reusing.
