In her final project she discussed the history of plastic and its relationship to materialism in order to answer the question: why does plastic exist despite its environmental impact?, talked about the different types of plastics that are used commercially, what purpose they serve, and how they can be recycled, and finally, introduced the DYI technique used in the adjoining ―How to Guide that offers a solution for anyone that wants to save money, be creative, and recycle their own plastic.
