This isn't milk, It's a salt and pepper shaker.









Salt and Pepper Shaker by Katrishia Powell

We live in a society where most of the things we buy are thrown out once they are used. What we have not noticed is that many of those materials being thrown out could be used to create other usable things. This idea is called upcycling. By upcycling we can prevent wasting existing useful materials to create something new and useful. We have seen many purses made out of recyclable materials, such as cans or plastic. This is a good example of upcycling.

For those people that like to be environmentally friendly, boxed water has been created. This helps reduce the amount of plastic used and at the same time the boxes can be reused to create something completely different. After drinking the water inside the consumer will open the box to find a new pattern to create a salt and pepper shaker. This is something used daily in every household and it does not only have to be filled with salt and pepper. Several of these can be made and filled with spices of any other condiment necessary. These shakers will be refillable since they have the side caps to keep adding as much as you need.
