Jellyfish seems to be a very dangerous animal for us. But plastic is much more dangerous for our oceans.

Don't you think so?.

Sometimes, turtles eat plastic bags because they look like jellyfish. Isn't it dangerous?.

Plastic bottles can last for several years in our oceans, polluting the sea and becoming a poisonous food for fishes.

The jellyfish of this project is made out of recycled plastic kegs.

Before, the keg use be a craft beer container..After, it look like a jellyfishe.

With this project we can give a second life recycling plastic. It's not a real life, they do not breathe. But, if we watch them, we can think about how dangerous could be plastic trash in our oceans.

Wich one do you think that is more dangerous?

Jellyfishes or plastic bottles?

We will remove the top and the bottom of the keg.

We will cut strips from the base to the top.

With a cooking torch, we will apply heat in order to make the tentacles. They will take curly shapes.
