The proverb "one man's trash is another man's treasure" is certainly familiar to you. Have you ever implemented that?

Certain items seem intended for the recycle or trash bin—what else would you do with the used coffee grinds from this morning or the wine cork from last night? But hold on!

At least some of what we would normally discard can be salvaged easily. Upcycling offers a creative and environmentally friendly substitute for conventional consumption and disposal in a world where waste is produced on a daily basis.
