Sadly, as I am getting older I am realizing who much I consume and toss away products. I have grown up in a recycling household and my parents taught me at a young age what goes in which bin and how to read the symbols on the bottom of products. Living in a sorority house I lost my recycling habits and honestly, got lazy about keeping up with it. Now in my own apartment, I feel I have become more aware of my recycling behaviors and made am oath to become more Eco friendly.
Besides for becoming better about recycling, I have also discovered upcycling. Taking the manufactured product and turning it to something else. First quick project I did was with a wide mouth glass pickle jar turned into flower vase. It was turned over, dried, and painted black on the outside. The finish product is below.
Upcycling has been a good addition to my apartment because it not only helps me become more green but become creative when looking at reusable products.
