  Hmmmm…. I’m struggling to think of any rat the moment but there are probably loads. I’m trying to turn a broken tumble dryer into a music box right now – and that’s kind of pointless. I’m mainly doing it for fun and also as a project to help me learn.
  
  If I wasn’t doing this project with the dryer then it’d probably end up in a landfill, contributing to environmental damage. So actually, looking at how we can turn our ‘junk’ into useful things is actually really important!

So, doing something pointless can help the environment?
