PROBLEM - PLASTIC WASTE
THE FACTS:
Plastic is Forever
Recycling or cleaning up empty bottles is not a solution
for plastic pollution. The truth is plastic is nearly
impossible to break down naturally

WAYS TO RISE ABOVE PLASTIC
Choose to reuse when it comes to shopping bags and bottled
water. Cloth bags and metal or glass reusable bottles are
available locally at great prices.
Spread the word. Talk to your family and friends about why it is
important to reduce plastic in our lives and the awful impacts of
plastic pollution.
SOLUTION:
Introducing:
THE
HAMECO
Made out of your
very own recycled
plastic!!!
WHAT IS THE HAMECO???
A HAMMOCK CREATED OUT OF STRIPS MADE
FROM OLD PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES.
We want to host an event at OTIS, bringing together our students and staff to create
HAMECOs for our campus.
WINNER!
WEAVING A HAMMOCK
For HAMECO we would modify the following into a method using our plastic
strips
(i.e.- no paper loom, but taping down plastic strips at the beginning to fasten).
At the end of the weaving process, the plastic strips can be stapled together
using an industrial staple gun.
HOW TO BRING HAMECO TO OTIS
Collect plastic bottles from campus
Develop a budget- Going through the list of things you need, then figuring out where
the money will come from (fundraising etc..) or if you can work with the school. Always
remember that at events like this you want to have some entertainment, food (making
sure to have the right about based off the guest or your facility), supplies and any extra
expenses you may need.
Divide And Conquer- Assign positions to every team member, Everyone has a piece of
the puzzle.
Make it Social- We live in a digital age, use all the resources you can. FACEBOOK,
TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, SNAPCHAT!!
Always have a plan B- Something will ALWAYS HAPPEN! Making sure that you have
extra of what you might run out of, or maybe just back of people to call for help.
