    KElly please look into India "paving" roads from Plastic bags and Tires. They do not create pot holes and are Way more durable than the current way the USA paves roads.

    What an awesome human being she is..seeing a way to help others and she did,good for her..IMO this story shows that everyone can do something to help others,even if they think they can't do anything..just a simple smile can go a long way to help someone,it makes them feel that someone cares..I try to smile at everyone I pass when I'm in public,even if I feel crappy..it fills my ❤ to help others any way I can 😊

      I think I'd be more proud of my state and affluent country if the horrendous wealth disparity didn't cause such high rates of homelessness in the first place.

      Well thats an obvious, but seeing as i don’t have power over that, how about i just be happy that the beautiful woman doing something amazing is close to where I’m at? If you’re wanting to try and start something, i suggest you find someone who will play into your game. Have a lovely day Beth.

    My grandmother did this 50 years ago with plastic bread bags. She made shopping bags and placemats. She would only use one brand of bread so that the colors worked out right for her. We kids kinda made fun of them. Who knew how much she was ahead of her time.

    There is a prison in
    Ontario Oregon, where the inmates make these for a homeless shelter to give back to the community.

      Jody Burke they need to put inmates to work more often in order to keep them active by doing something productive for society. I actually think that’s the best way to rehabilitate people.

      The plastic mats are waterproof so homeless can use them longer. The paper would just soak all the water and it would be a waste

    I wish Kelly would lighten up her lipstick. Too red which makes a person look older. She would look so pretty with a lighter color.

    • @tamarakennedy4976
      @tamarakennedy4976 4 роки тому +5

      Stop that...shes not old and red lipstick looks pretty on her...when you are 100 i hope you wear whatever colored lipstick you want to because this woman here and all the women i know could not care any less about what anyone thinks about their lipstick..and with the homeless people freezing cold outside lipstick is all you got out of this show? Really? Be kind speak nicely about everyone and if you cant come up with anthing nice to say heres a thought be silent because negative energy is toxic...and remember whether you care to accept it or not the facts are THAT WE ARE ALL FROM ONE CREATION ONE CREATOR WE ARE ALL ON THIS EARTH TOGETHER AND THAT MAKES US ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS ....SO.....BE KIND....BE LOVING AND NEVER FEED THE UGLY CRUEL OR EVIL THING THAT DRIVES YOU AWAY FROM BEING LOVED LOVEABLE AND KIND COMPASSIONATE AND GIVING UNSELFISH AND HELPFUL...BE THE CHANGE WE ALL WANT TO SEE IN THIS WORLD.

      This challenge is easy peasy, ladies - lighten up on the lipstick & you won’t look like you’re 80 years older than what you are.
      BTW- you may find the history of lipstick interesting.

    @alid6060 4 роки тому +2

    I know lots of women that make these. They don't go on TV to talk about it though... And now that that California is charging for thicker bags (that still aren't recycled 🙄), it would cost a fortune to do this and the bags homeless people used to stuff to make pillows, they have to pay for now. The government is stupid. They screwed up a really good thing for no reason.

      I'm just starting to make them with the new bags it's harder to do but we still forget the other bags so I figured might as well
