TO do their part in saving the environment and offering sustainable alternatives, the Kingsburgh Lions Club made over 100 ecobricks for Earth Day recently.
The club has made ecobricks for about five years and has donated them to various local non-profit organisations that needed them.

The club president, Tony Marron, said, “They are a simple yet powerful way to tackle the issue of plastic waste in our environment. An ecobrick is a plastic bottle that has been packed tightly with used plastic materials, such as bags and wrappers. By doing this, the bottle becomes a sturdy building block that can be used to create a wide range of structures.”
He said the process is not only a practical solution, but it also encourages a shift in mindset towards waste reduction and repurposing.
“By using ecobricks, we reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, ultimately helping to protect our planet and its precious resources,” said Tony.
Ecobricks can be used as garden walls and planters, furniture, building materials and art projects. “Overall, the possibilities are endless,” said Tony.
