Children in Ningbo, Zhejiang province are using their unique creation to promote recycling.

To promote environmental protection, a special fashion show was recently held at the Jiangbei Foreign Language School in the city's Jiangbei district, during which a group of primary school students displayed clothes made of waste such as CDs, cartons, and plastic bags.

The clothes were all created by the students themselves.

"We hope that students can make the earth a better place through innovation," said an official at the school.
