Upcycling

I'm happy the concept of recycling is widespread. Not many people I speak to about it in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, know why or how, but they've heard of it.

Upcycling is a word for making literally awesome things from waste as opposed to recycling them. In theory, I was made to take part in do-it-yourself (DIY) projects and use every scrap of material I use to get rid of all the guilt of not being eco-friendly. Practically, I have a lot of preconceived ideas that I'm trying to get rid of.

The city-girl/Saudi in me can't help but ask how sanitary the following are, even though I know they're cleaner than the "new" items on the supermarket shelves that have been to numerous warehouses and as cargo on many modes of transport.

I think this will change though, because these look too cool to not try!
