Environmental Enrichment
Upcycling is the method of taking something old or used and making it new again. In an effort to keep items out of landfills, upcycling gives people the opportunity to save an item from becoming junk; it truly gives the saying “what is one person’s trash is another person’s treasure,” a new meaning.
Now it is your turn to upcycle! Look at anything your family wants to throw away: trash, old furniture, jewelry, clothing, accessories, boots, toys, etc… Use your creative mind to produce something new! How can you prevent these objects from going to the landfill and make something new and exciting in the process? On the next page you will see some examples of upcycling at it’s finest!
After you create your upcycled product, then you will be inspired to encourage others to do the same. You can write step-by-step directions explaining to others how they can also produce your creation from trash.
