Thinking about what to do with your used Tires? DIY to produce erosion embankments, flower pots, etc

Tire pollution is a big problem around the globe. Most often, we find it difficult dealing with our used automobile tires and in Africa where tire recycling firms are absent, tire pollution is a very big problem.
To deal with their used tires, most people have resorted to dumping it in illegal dumpsites and waterways, while others burn.

Burning tires is the fastest way to release toxic gases in the atmosphere meanwhile dumping tires in the open environment makes it a suitable breeding ground for mosquitoes and other infectious organisms. Sending used tires to the landfill occupies a lot of landfill space. Tires, are really a big problem for nations that don't recycle tires.
This explains why we wanted to hare with you some DIY tips on what you can do with your used tires.
Two of these DIY are our innovations; Mushroom Tire Seats and Tire Erosion Embankments.

1. Mushroom Tire Seats

Instead of throwing away or burning your used tires, you can use them to make Mushroom tire seats for your home or community.
At @thegreens, we call them “Mushroom Tire Seats” because they appear as if they are growing from the ground and have a round mushroom cap.
To make a Mushroom Tire Seat is Simple and very cheap.

2. Tire Erosion Embankments

Most waterways in our communities are not constructed and constructing waterways to limit erosion is usually very costly. With used tires, you can construct the waterways of your community and plant some beautiful trees and flowers along the banks of the stream, making it more beautiful while stopping erosion.

3. Tire Gardens

Tire gardening is one of the ways to deal with your used tires. Tires are awesome planters and perfect to nurse seeds of plants.

4. Tire Flower Pots

These are the four main creative items we make from tires. There are many other beautiful things that can be made with tires and all it takes is a creative mind.

We are hereby encouraging you to stop sending tires to the landfill and to stop burning tires.
