Environmentalist uses chips packets to make sleeping bags for homeless
What do we do with empty potato chips packets after eating the chips? We usually throw them in the trash.
Environmentalist Eradajere Oleita has found a useful way to reuse them – she turns them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
25-year-old Eradajere was born in Nigeria but now lives in the city of Detroit, US. She says she got the idea from an online video of such sleeping bags made by a woman in England.
A few months ago, Eradajere started collecting chip bags and also set up a website to get more. Then she cuts the bags open, irons them and adds a plastic layer. One sleeping bag can be made from 150 empty packets.
This innovative environmentalist says that the material helps keep the body warm, is waterproof, light and lasts for very long. She hopes to make 60 sleeping bags for homeless people by February this year.
