The best thing that we do to used-plastic bottles is trashing them. A very few among us might have thought of reusing it say, to fill drinking water or to store oil or something. It’s already late for us to take action. Each day millions of bottles are littered around and most of them end up contaminating precious water bodies. 0:05 Funnel 0:24 Spoon 0:46 Squeeze bottle (w/ fine tip nozzle) 1:31 Cup w/ handle 2:05 Shrink wrap picture cup 2:33 Orange juicer 3:29 Hose nozzle 4:16 Rotary tool guard 5:06 Gutter down spout, hinged 5:47 Toothbrush holder 6:47 Camera 'tripod' / "bottle bod" 7:21 Wire insulator 7:58 Fish/ minnow trap 8:27 Plastic bottle "rope" 8:43 Plastic bottle "rope" net/fence 9:04 Magnifying lens 9:54 Vacuum filter (find/ pickup small dropped items) 10:30 Levitating ping-pong ball 11:09 Hidden message on Coke bottle 11:53 Mouse trap 12:36 Auto plant waterer 13:20 Yarn ball holder/ dispenser 13:43 Bracelet 14:15 Pen/pencil holder with paperclip tray 14:51 TP holder/ dispenser15:10 Pen/pencil case 15:46 Padded camera lens case 16:33 Car umbrella holder 17:15 Bottle + Balloon vase 17:39 Ottoman (low upholstered seat / footstool) 18:30 Bottle cap mini storage (nuts and bolts) 19:58 Bottle cap flower / card holder / picture holder 21:14 Bottle cap + CD painter’s pallet 22:07 Sifter / strainer 23:34 Round cookie cutter(s) 24:40 Egg and spoon holder 25:22 Melted bottle cap phone holder 27:02 Melted bottle cap pen (turned on mini lathe) 29:33 Water spout (temporary faucet) 30:00 Dish and utensil drying rack 30:28 Plastic bag handle 30:44 Copy a key 31:19 Pipe carrier (see 30:28 Plastic bag handle) 31:37 Giant bottle lighter 33:20 Pressurized spray bottle 35:24 Bottle to bottle funnel 36:01 Paper towel dispenser (keeps paper towel dry) .....[more]

Fascinating! Thanks — I always have a few plastic bottles around, and xacto knives, too.
Clever guy.
In a Home Power article, a 2l container was used as the cover for a small motor turned into a wind-power generator.
Did they mention molotov cocktail?
One idea was really intriguing. The footstool made. As a child, remember visiting my GGM who had in her home an upholstered footstool made with recycled coffee cans. We children loved to sit on that listening to the ‘grown ups’ talk about ‘the good old days’, reminiscing about the family members. A fond childhood memory.
This fellow must lie awake nights to think of what and how. For even more ideas, if interested Google “how to re-use plastic bottles dyi”
Some are ingenious, some - not so much. Used in decorating and to perform tasks around the home; some easy to make and others - the more challenging DIY projects.
Silencer for pistol to shoot an eco-freak without making any noise and disturbing their pals.
I liked the bird netting in the garden made from plastic strips. Ideal “calming method” for OCD folks.
Imposing a 5 cent deposit like they do on bottles and cans helps to clean up the plastic trash people leave lying around too............

Supposedly they are very intelligent. They just don’t have opposable thumbs and human-like vocal cords, so there’s no way to check their SAT scores...
Intelligent? Yes, agreed. And doctors confirm they have a heart - often their heart valves replace our own.
Some clothing catalog that comes to our mailbox sells clothing with a small percentage of recycled plastic bottles. eeww
Do you happen to remember the outfit? In some cases, perhaps a good idea (raincoats, children’s clothes, etc.) Do they use the actual bottle and convert it in some fashion by cutting or perhaps melt the bottle and reuse the material in that form? If it can be used to make fences/’boards’ - using to make garments is a 180 in different uses.
This = good idea for those here in Texas; a step up from tin cans? We’re continually searching for improvements in our aim.
Oh, he had one in the video - just one
For mouse traps you might want to follow this guy - Shawn Woods https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYbru-MPO1xjes4FVn61JUQ
Lots to see on his site; old and new The plastic pail with the can/bottle suspended on a rod through the pail works well. Living in the country, field mice and rats are abundant at certain times of the year. This works well for use in our barn. For our autos, we take a sock, put moth balls into it tie it off and place near the engine under the hood of the vehicle. There is ALWAYS a better mouse trap!
