Gifts

Celebrate your family and friends while saving the environment with these six “green” gift projects. Coupling lessons on recycling with craft projects that readers can fashion out of everyday products, each project begins with a brief description of a recycling concept and goes on to explain how to make fun creations out of otherwise discarded objects. Turn juice cartons into birdhouses or make a holiday wreath with plastic bottles using easily obtained materials and clear step-by-step instructions, which are accompanied by photographs and helpful tips. Back matter includes a glossary, a publisher-approved Web site, a list of books about recycling and craft projects, and an index.
