How To Reduce Plastic Waste


The last two weeks we have been learning about plastic. On our rubbish topic we also thought it would be cool to make beeswax wraps and fabric bags. We made our beeswax wrap so that we could replace glad wrap in our lunchbox. Our fabric bags are good for the environment, you can use them in supermarkets or any where else. 
I enjoyed making both of theses things because I use them a lot. 



How to make beeswax wrap: Put baking paper down then put cotton down on the baking paper now grate beeswax, and sprinkle it on the cotton, then put another piece of baking paper down on the cotton. The last part is to get an iron and melt all the beeswax; after the beeswax is all melted you put it on a rack and let it dry for a minute.

    Well done for writing about some of the projects we have been doing to try to help us reduce the amount of plastic we are producing. I'm glad you enjoyed these projects and that you are using your bag and your beeswax wrap. Ka rawe!
