Look! Up in the sky! It’s a…plastic bag!

In China, as in everywhere else, plastic bags cause quite a lot of headache, especially when they’re not being disposed of properly. But 71-year-old Han Fushan has found a different use for them, turning used plastic bags into kites. Each kite takes up to two days to complete and only 15 cents to make, with the thinner bags being used for kites to be flown in light winds and thicker bags for more heavy-duty kite action.
