Blankets from Plastic Bottles

Today, volunteers from Tzu-Chi visited my block and went unit by unit asking for recyclables. As expected they were looking for newspapers. But they also asked for plastic bottles. I was surprised when they mentioned the plastic bottles can be made into blankets! Plastic bottles that are hard sustance making into blankets that are supposed to be soft. I had to ask further. On further asking, I learnt that they have a machine that can make plastic bottles into blankets. Plastic has polyester substance that can be effectively made into blankets to be donated to the needy such as the earthquake victims. Wow this is a revelation! We must start recycling more of our stuffs instead of just throwing them away.
