I like this quote. It is an old Chinese saying expressing what we mean
when we say someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure. That many of us
think that this is true is very visible when we look at numbers of
charity shops, scrap shops, car boot sales, swap shops, free cycle
networks etc, etc out there. Turning trash to treasure is true recycling
or even better up cycling which describes a process of converting waste
or unwanted materials into new materials or products of a better quality
or a higher environmental value. If we manage to look beyond the
current purpose of a product or thing and see its next lives hidden
inside, we turn trash to treasure. The beauty about this is that once
you started it you won’t be able to stop. You see it happening all
around you. You stop being a consumer who is told by the consumer
industry what to buy and when to buy it. Turing trash to treasure you
will use less resource,
you will create less waste, you will live a more sustainable life
and it feels good.
Trash to Treasure
You too can turn your own trash to treasure by creative
recycling and start using, wearing, enjoying your old and unwanted
things, again. There is a universe out there with millions of ways of
turning trash to treasure. The conversion from trash to treasure
does not need to look homemade or like a school’s project. Once I had
started creative recycling I looked at all my stuff and thought what
will you be in your next life. I found many many great ways of turning
my trash to treasure.
