The green stool a stool that we made by using materials that most people usually don't use. The main materials we used were plastic, and wood because wood was what we used as the main material for the stool while plastic was used to stabilise the wood so the stool wouldn't break so easily. The reason it is named the green stool is not because of the colour but because the materials we used materials that won't cause harm to the environment.

We searched online for plastic furniture and wood for design ideas.
Originally we were thinking of sticking a bunch of plastic bottles to each other and put wood on top of it but we decided not to because it looked kind of odd and was also hard to attach onto the wood
We decided to create a stool
The difficulty we had was making a decision on what furniture we were going to make.
The full method of to build this table is linked at the bottom of the page
Final thoughts:
We like the way we managed to make the legs so stable, however something we didn't like is how it looks kind of plain.
Difficulties:
Changing the design because originally the design was to have multiple plastic bottles and put wood on the top but we changed our minds because we thought there wasn't that much space for the bottles and also it didn't stabilise as well as we thought it would.
We had difficulties putting the table on the legs, so we cut the wood half way on different sides of the top and wrapped around the plastic to the top of the stool to the legs. We needed to find a solution on how to wrap the plastic with the leg, we used the cross plastic joint technique.
We needed to find the same looking wood, and the same length for the woods. Some of the woods we found were shorter and not long enough and some of the wood weren't the same thickness.
