This is how one innovative little church in Brazil is turning an environmental problem into a solution - discarded plastic bottles into brooms! Take a 2-liter soda bottle, remove the label, and cut off the bottom. Use a pair of scissors to make ½-inch strips most of the way up the length of the bottle, and remove the neck of the bottle with scissors. Do the same thing again, except leave the neck on this one. Finally, cut a bottle 3-4 inches from the top. To assemble the broom slide the bottle with the neck left on to the wooden dowel, then slide the bottle without a neck on top of that, and finally the bottle top. Drill a small hole through all layers and run a wire or string from the bottom layer through the hole and around the broom. This will help keep the broom from coming apart.
