Making your  house eco- friendly doesn’t have to cost you a thing! Here are 5 tips on how to make a house eco- friendly using recycled materials. These tips will also help you preserve the nature for generations to come.

Step 1

Start off by recycling a number of plastic bottles, remove any sort of labels. Cut them in equal halves, take off the lids and drill holes in them.

Step 2

Put a strip in the hole, flip top half of the bottle upside down and put it inside the half cut bottom half. Make sure the strip is long enough for you to carry the whole pot plant using it.

Step 3

Fill the top half of the plastic bottle with moist or dry sand. Take the top half of the bottle and insert it on the bottom base half of the bottle.

Step 4

Add a plant of your choice in the pot plant/ bottle that you have created. You can make as many pot plants as you can. Make sure you water the plant as much as you can
