Eco Factor: Musical instruments made from found objects.
Students at the Applewild School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, have a green mindset at an age none of us would have ever thought about conserving the environment. A team of students in grades four and five at the school were in need of some musical instruments for a concert, but unlike us they didn’t buy them, but instead they created their own instruments and that too from trashed objects. The instruments were made from materials like washboards, pans, pots, PVC piping and plastic water jugs. Each instrument created was unique since no one knew how they would sound before someone tried to play them.
The Dark Side:
Environment conservation and that too at a pre-teen age is something not many would have heard of. We really appreciate the hard work put in by the students to develop something as useful from nothing. If the students are able to preserve the instruments and protect them from going back to the junkyard in couple of days, we don’t see any reason why other schoolchildren around the world should not be inspired.
