1. you have to get used to the fact, that somethings can only be recycled in special plants designed to do so.

With the plastic bottles, it depends how much you have, and what kind of shape they have,
Some of them you can fill wit a bit of soil and then you can plant a seed. So you have a flower growing out of a bottle.

C. Hanging Plastic Bottle Feeder

Remove the heavy plastic bottom and label from a 2-liter plastic soda pop bottle. Several holes must be made in the bottle
either with a drill or a hot wire (see Figure 1). For young children, these holes should be made by the teacher before class. Make holes in the bottle as follows:
a 1/8" hole in the bottom of the bottle; 4 holes 5/16" in diameter near the shoulder of the bottle so that dowels can be inserted for perches; and 4 feeding holes about 1" above the perch holes. The feeding holes should be 5/16" round if you intend to fill the feeder with black sunflower seeds and 1/4" x 1/8" if you will be using niger thistle seed. Take a 14" clothes hanger or other stiff wire and make 3 bends at one end as shown. Insert the wire, straight end first, though the mouth of the bottle and into an 1/8" hole in the bottle's bottom. Pull the wire through the hole and fashion a loop that from which to hang the feeder. Cut off any extra wire. Insert two dowels to serve as perches. Fill the feeder with the desired seed and suspend from a branch. This type of feeder will attract several species of finches and chickadees.

they must be attached to the platform in some way. I can think of a couple ways to do this but cannot know if it will work without testing.
