Posted by Gina at 8:32 a.m.on 11th February 2021 New Uses for Old Clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever—buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly—but how? One answer is to upcycle(升级利用).
If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination! I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try? | |
TerryB Posted at 9:08 a.m.on 11th February 2021 Reply Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m.on 11th February 2021Reply Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need. | |
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a.m,on 1lth February 2021Reply I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I'm living less wastefully. |
