Recycled Bottle Raft

Nowadays bottles are commonly used in everyday living. Plastic bottles can be found

almost anywhere on Earth.  For every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the

recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and

in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate.
