What is FunTasTickz Trash Artz "The Art Of Recycling?

FunTasTickz Trash Artz "The Art Of Recycling" is a problem-solving tool developed by environmental artist Dennis N.

All of my Projects are created from the products that I use. For example, once a bottle becomes empty, the plastic bottle, toothpicks, tin cans, bottle caps, skewers, and popsicle sticks and glass mirror are used for "Bottle Cap Sculpturez". The old clothing is transformed into "From Ragz To Blanketz" .
The newspapers are used for "Shredded Paper Sculpturez"
