"One person's trash is another person's treasure." When you hear about Amarildo Silva, this phrase will come to mind. Amarildo is a Brazilian craftsman who turns old tires into beds for animals. This project came about because of his love of crafts and animals. Two years ago, he was trying to find a way to make some extra money.
He decided to use his skills to make something beautiful out of the trash that people had thrown in the street—a great way to save the planet and make money at the same time.
When he saw that street dogs were using old tires as homes, he decided to make something similar. He picked up tires he found on the street, washed, colored, cut, and decorated them. He draws a unique design on each bed and writes the animal name who lives there.
