Water
Did you know you can also recycle water at home? Collect rainwater and bathwater
and use it to water your garden! Doing this will help save this important natural resource
and not waste it!
Composting
Not everything needs to go into the garbage can! If you gather natural materials like fruit
and vegetable peels, cut grass, and egg shells for your compost heap, you will end up with
good quality fertilizer for your garden…and it’s free!
Electronics
If you have an unwanted electronic device, donate it to an electronics store. If they can’t
repair it, at least they can reuse the parts and it won’t end up in a landfill. Many areas also
have organizations that collect old cellphones and computers and donate them to schools
and centers for senior citizens.

An Upcycling Workshop
a. In the computer lesson, you read about an upcycling workshop. Read the following blog
post about upcycling.
Hi Everyone!
My name is Gina, and I’d like to share with you some of my latest upcycling projects.
I really try to upcycle most of my unwanted items, rather than throwing them away.
I’m sure there’s lots of stuff around your house that you can turn into something
useful and beautiful! For example, I clean out glass jars, decorate them and use them
as vases for my fresh flowers. I also use buttons from old clothes to make jewelry
like earrings and necklaces. Here is another idea my friend recently gave me… use
wrappers from snacks and candy bars to cover school books! You can also use them
as wallpaper for your bedroom. Another idea is collecting bottle caps and using them
to replace missing pieces for board games. What are some of your upcycling ideas?
Please post them here!
