After that, we cycled through the beautiful promenade next to the rocks and the sea, and we finally arrived at Saturraran, a beach that is in front of the beach of our town. It’s a savage place, surrounded by nature, with a lot of big rocks, trees, flowers… So there we collected more rubbish and also natural things. 

Fortunately, there was very little waste. That’s obviously a good sign, because it helps us to convince ourselves that there are still possibilities to reduce the amount of plastic in our oceans in order to save them.

The final work would be a recycled funny piggy bank. 

With the waste already collected and some extra materials, I started my project. 

I cut the bottle, glued the ends, and then I started gluing more materials like: stones for the ears, plastic eyes, leg plugs, a cardboard for his suit... 

I also painted the little pig, so it would look excellent in color. After several minutes, I finished the piggy, and let it dry, on my sunny balcony. 

I really enjoyed this project, because although I loved the result and the usefulness that I can give it, I realized how important it is to take care of our oceans, being more aware of the amount of living beings that we damage, apart from our planet.

Last month, I went on a walk with my mother. First, we took our bicycles and we went to the pear. We walked through it and we collected some ropes and plastic bottles. After that, we cycled through the beautiful promenade next to the rocks and the sea, and we finally arrived at Saturraran, a beach that is in front of the beach of our town. It’s a savage place, surrounded by nature, with a lot of big rocks, trees, flowers… So there we collected more rubbish and also natural things. Fortunately, there was very little waste. That’s obviously a good sign, because it helps us to convince ourselves that there are still possibilities to reduce the amount of plastic in our oceans in order to save them.

Then, I went home, and I selected the materials I was going to use and I also used some resources that I had at home, like: Glue, glitter, scissors… Although there were a lot of materials, the main one was one of the plastic bottles I took on the beach. I painted the bottle , then I stuck 4 bottle stoppers to it, and finally I decorated it with some decorative accessories. 

After spending two weeks thinking about my final work, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I finally decided to make a piggy bank.  With the waste already collected and some extra materials, I started my project. I cut the bottle, glued the ends, and then I glued more materials like: stones for the ears, plastic eyes, leg plugs, a cardboard for his suit...  I also painted the little pig, so it would look excellent in color. After several minutes, I finished the piggy, and let it dry, on my sunny balcony. 

I have really enjoyed this project, because although I loved the result and the usefulness that I can give it, I realized how important it is to take care of our oceans, being more aware of the amount of living beings that we damage, apart from our planet. I have also realized how easy and nice it can be to make use of the debris that surrounds us. The final part of going to Zaldupe has also been amazing, because we have made children aware of the global catastrophic situation we are living in nowadays.
