Consumerism, of which we are so often victims, does not encourage us to use our brains very much! How is that?!
For example, by creating a need for us to buy a new object that would be useful to us, when the new object could easily be replaced by another object that can be upcycled, without the need for spending more money.
Upcycling is the opposite of consumerism, so if you want to stand out from the crowd, start practicing it by replacing some objects with others (that you already own) that were originally intended for a completely different use!
