When was the last time you ate from a foil pack? Chances are, you just ate from one. Potato chips, chocolates, juice powders--there's just so many food items packaged inside these same foil packs that one begins to wonder where they go after their contents are eaten.
The sad thing about this, unfortunately, is that foil packs are non-biodegradable. That means they won't decay just like the banana peel you just threw. Foil packs accumulate in the places where they shouldn't be in, like garbage dumps, where they just add to the unbelievable amounts of trash we create every single day. If there was only a way to make use of these foil packs, we would've been much better.
Of course there are alternatives. It just needs some dedication to get realized. The alternatives don't have to be boring, too, as evidenced by some of these works that I'm going to show you.
In this video, you will see that wallets and clutch purses were created almost entirely out of the foil packs that we used to throw. There were small bags made out of potato chip and chocolate wrappers, as well as clutchbags made out of cookie bags. In fact, the projects were not limited to foil packs alone. There were also bags made out chicken soup packs and magazine pages as well!
In addition to the fact that the creator of these bags was able to save some trash off the place of the planet, what's nice about the idea is that she was able to put up an Internet shop where she sold the bags and clutchpurses. The customers seem to love it! That's what I've been telling you about craft businesses. There's always an opportunity as long as you persevere enough to find and make the best out of them. Our ability to create and recreate things is arguably the best form of wealth that we can have.
