Picture plastic bottles turned into monk robes, foam into bricks, milk cartons into housing materials, and glass bottles into amulets. Fascinating upcycling, right? Fortunately for our Klookers in Bangkok, they got to see it firsthand at Wat Chak Daeng. Inspired, the team rolled up their sleeves for two hands-on projects: 🛌 Crafted pillows entirely from recycled plastic straws to bring comfort and better care to bedridden patients in local public hospitals. 🎨 Painted custom recycled tote bags to reduce single-use plastic, with many donated to local seniors for carrying essentials and medicines. Proof that with creativity and teamwork, trash does become someone's treasure. 🧡
