It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Etsy
Etsy is a super easy cite to use to buy and sell items from people across the globe. The best thing about this cite is that half the items sold on there are upcycled. You can purchase jewelry made out of bottle caps and paper clips. If you are really creative you can even make your own things and sell them on this cite as well. This cite is a great way to reuse items that would otherwise be thrown away.
I've always loved ETSY and all of their products! However, I never knew that so many of the products being sold are upcycled. I think upcycling is such a great idea, and fun too. I have been looking at ETSY and also other upcycling and DIY projects to see what I could do. I have found so many projects that I can't wait to try! Such as taking a big, old T-shirt you don't use anymore, and cutting the sides to make a cute muscle tee for the summer! You can try things like this instead of going out and buying lots of new clothes. This can reduce your carbon footprint by SO much, while having fun!
