The Earth Rangers

As our part of our work to #EndPlasticBottlePollution, @thegreens have been educating and engaging young people in the North West Region via her Earth Rangers Program to take actions to stop plastic bottle pollution. We train our Earth Rangers on how to produce the UPB Vertical Garden, UPB Plant Nursery Pots and ecobricks. So far, we have together with these young people been able to upcycle more than 5000 Plastic Bottles into the aforementioned products.

Starting off the forests of tomorrow by planting the seeds and seedlings in recycled bottles is not only clever, but energetically giving those baby trees something more than just soil and water. I like the idea of the extra holes for better drainage. Smiling faces, community engagement, supporting Mother Earth.... you have really nailed this one. Well done to you and the Earth Rangers. Standing Ovation - a brilliant contribution to our @ecotrain practical challenge..

Thanks @stortebeker. UPB means Upcycled Plastic Bottle.
