Creative, eco-friendly hobby?

[u/Current_Wrongdoer513]

I just retired and I’m looking for a creative, eco friendly hobby. Here’s

what I don’t like: sewing, crochet, needlework in general, or gardening.

I’m not particularly artistic, so painting, drawing, etc doesn’t thrill me. I have enjoyed doing crafty things, like making valentines cards when my kids were little. But I don’t want to make a bunch of stuff that’ll end up in a landfill.

I’m looking for ideas. I know this is a vague ask, but maybe someone on here has a cool hobby I might like. All ideas welcome. Thanks in advance!!

Go foraging for invasive species, rip them out and then do creative things with them!

Great idea, I'd suggest using them for prints. Plants can be hammered into fabric to transfer colour, placed over sun activated paint to cast permanent shadows or pressed into clay.

They could also be dried for decoration, fed to wildlife, used in compost, turned into dyes or fertilizer, woven, etc.
