I work at a Quaker school that has great interest in environmental sustainability, in fact, I'm in charge of maintaining our membership in a lot of the sustainability initiatives that we have joined. I also happen to love sewing, of which numerous kids are familiar. Instead of just recycling old clothes to refashion into new ones, I'd love to be able to create several outfits to show the kids that "crunchy" doesn't have to equal drab and that sustainable doesn't have to mean old and pilly!
Some type of home decor..probably pillows.
