Upcycling: Recycling Up a Notch

Welcome to the world of UP-Cycling.  Upcyclers are taking recycling to a new level.
We know we need to 'downcycle' i.e don't buy materials that need to be recycled or thrown away.  Limit your trash.

Now imagine if you had to keep all of that stuff you throw away.  Imagine if it all had to stay with you or you had to create other things that people need, want, or wish to have with it.  That is Upcycling.

Check out Upcycling Magazine for all sorts of ideas!

Use your creative intuition.   What can you do with all those caps to things (soda bottles, etc) that can't be recycled?  Check out these amazing bags made out of plastic grocery sacks. 

Put your creativity hat on!  Here is one to try on!  Made from coffee bags!
