Wait! Are you sure you want to throw that away?!
The historical period in which we now live is characterized by waste. In fact, many years ago, Italo Calvino had already written a book, "Invisible Cities" where he provided a very suggestive image of what is now our reality.
In the book, Calvino talks about Leonia, a city in which each day everything is thrown away and the next day is started again with all new products, while the landfills are full of semi-new objects.
It is easy to recognize in Leonia our own cities, and also our own houses. For this reason, whenever possible, we should always upcycle, reuse, and give a second life to objects that can still be used.
Do you need some ideas? Here are some great ideas for easy and creative upcycling!
