Waste & Recycling

ByAdey Thani January 28, 2014

Hi Everybody,

Has anyone thought about how much waste we create through our consumption habits? Newspapers littering the trains and streets, empty drink cans laying about the place, etc. These items can all be up-cycled and put into good use to make something new and exciting. I think we need to look harder and especially in these times of recession, we can find other uses for these waste materials in the home or the office. This could lead to the creation of new functional products and reduce the incidence of litter and waste.

Any comments are welcome.
