Interested in turning trash into treasure?

You can't be responsible for everyone else's trash but you can definitely be responsible for your own! Of course, we should first try to refuse the purchase, and consider other alternatives (if available) in order not to end up with the trash.

First, analyze the trash we have and consider if it can be avoided in the first place. If yes, then congratulations, you will not ending up with the same trash in the future. If the answer is no, then consider how you can reuse the trash and the item immediately becomes a useful item instead of trash. If you have exhausted all means of reusing the item, then think about how you can 'upcycle' the item into something useful. There are lots of ideas on the internet for this with useful videos and guides.

Upcycling is creating a new product or item out of something that is no longer useful.
