Creative green ideas from toilet paper rolls and old gift wrapping

Let’s make a workshop and celebrate the Environment Day!

Butterflies and bees, dogs and owls, human faces, colorful bouquets and favorite cartoon characters – anything can be made from old and useless toilet paper rolls! Don’t you believe? Don’t be too quick to disbelief, just take a look at the unique creations that our ATRIUM friends from DevOcean Solutions, Flax and Teal Limited, Tech Research Studies and Finance Incorporated Limited have produced.

WORKSHOP with a cause on the occasion of Environment Day at ATRIUM

On the 5th of June, we celebrated once again the International Environment Day.
A day when we ask ourselves: “What will we leave behind?”. Oceans of plastic? Ashes of burned forests? Endangered animal species? Or the worst – morals and values in the red book?
The figures from the UN reports become more startling with each passing year – for example, the record nearly 60 million tons of e-waste today (more than the weight of the Great Wall of China) will be 74.7 million tons by 2030, and only 17.4% of them are recycled. Alarmingly large amounts of plastic are clogging the oceans, and climate change is causing fires in the forests that are the “lungs” of the planet.

The Three "R" (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle)

We, at ATRIUM, believe that even the smallest step towards a more sustainable life can make a big difference! That’s why we apply the three R’s (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) every day, and we decided to dedicate the last Wednesday of May to Environment Day.

ART & CRAFT

A week before June 5th, we invited colleagues and friends to an improvised art workshop of ATRIUM to give a second life to old cardboard toilet paper rolls and to give everyone the opportunity to create their unique artistic masterpiece. That’s right, it sounds strange and unusual, but our imagination can give birth to real works of art from any object that we are used to instinctively throw in the trash. The ATRIUM team went out of their way to provide all the necessary materials (it wasn’t too difficult because toilet paper turns out to be one of the most used supplies)!
