Never heard of upcycling? That is okay; upcycling is an easy and fun activity that celebrates the environment. Examples include making guitars into bookshelves, turning plastic bags into a dress, or even turning old spoons into a chandelier.

The goal of upcycling is to prevent the waste of potentially useful materials while reducing the consumption of new, raw materials. Small changes like upcycling old materials can result in a reduction of energy use, air or water pollution, and even reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
