The Next Level of Recycling

A group in New York want to have a pool party, unfortunately they did not have the real estate or the money. So what they did was turned an old dumpster into a pool. If you are wondering how far can you step outside the box, well this is pretty far.

These are the strategies we need moving into the future, plus it helps with equitability. Next time you through something away think about what else it could be used for.
