Blessed are the Flexible

I hate to ask you for more support BUT it is really important.

El Salvador is facing a devastating crisis.

Torrential rains have unleashed severe flooding, leaving thousands of families in desperate need of help. Homes have been destroyed, essential belongings washed away, and communities left vulnerable and in dire need of support.

Our neighbors and community need help NOW.

Please consider donating if you can. You probably don't realize what a big difference a small contribution can make.

We are so grateful for the continual contribution of eco bricks from the students at

This is one part of our nonprofit project that can be rather time consuming!

When we collect our materials from our beach cleanups we have to sort them, wash them, dry them and we have way more plastic bottles than we do soft plastics to fill them with.

The school has a beautiful recycling program set up on campus that helps make this process easier! We couldn’t do it without the amazing humans involved though. The time, effort, and support of the teachers and students makes the ecobricks possible and we can’t wait to put them to good use 🫶🏻

Thank you 🙏

He looks so happy with his tequila 🤣 but actually it is our home made organic pesticide!

Hardwood ash acts as a pH adjustment agent, natural fungicide, and insecticide to help protect your garden from diseases and pests.

We use 1 part ash to 2 parts water. Let it sit and ferment for a few days, strain out the ash and voila 🫶🏻

Wonderful ways to repurpose old tires! 🛞

Aprendamos a reciclar 🙏🍃

Slow and steady wins the race. The roof is getting started today!

We definitely learned a few different lessons about the roof along this journey. We were hoping to use bamboo but hit an issue trying to fire cure it and didn’t want to wait to soak it for a month and then dry it for months.

At this point it has taken us so long to research alternatives and fund raise money that we could have gone the bamboo route! is a funny thing.

Future homes will be dome shaped to make this simpler and more affordable.

I don't get it either.

There are so many ways to repurpose glass bottles and cutting them is actually easier than you think. You can do it with boiling water!!

I hope 2024 will be the year you begin to think more about the trash you create, how to buy less, and repurpose more 💗

Don’t throw away your empty bottles; turn them into wind chimes!

This is an adorable and useful project that you can give away as a gift.

Perfect way to reuse tires and save a tree! 🌲
