We love the outdoors and we spend as much time as possible enjoying everything mother nature has to offer, but it doesn’t take long before being completely frustrated by the amount of trash we find on our hikes, especially plastic. So we decided to do something about this and organized trail and community clean-ups in our area. But after multiple trips to the landfills/recycling centers we thought there must be something better we can do about our plastic waste problem. So we asked ourselves…..”how can we give single-use plastic a long term-purpose?”

That’s when it hit us…..BUILDING MATERIALS. We plan to transform plastic waste into interlocking bricks. These bricks can be used to build just about anything but we will start locally with benches and picnic tables for our parks. And ultimately, providing emergency shelters for victims of natural disaster.
