I came across this great site and and wonderful idea! Unique Eco (Fair Trade) is an example of Villagers in Kenya working together to clean up the environment (trash from beaches) reuse and re-purpose to make Art, Clothing and Fashion Accessories and all sorts of fun products!
The flip-flop initiative takes the thousands of Flip Flops, Tires, plastic bags and glues them together- How creative- take a look at the site!
