REDUCE - REUSE
RECYCLE - REBUILD
REFURBISH - REFINISH
REPAIR - RECOVER
Over the years I have become a junk hound. I believe that this world has enough stuff in it~ ( I know, right? This, coming from the girl who owns a gift and home decor store.) If you can Reduce waste by making something wonderful out of something old, then you should. I believe that you should Reuse, any items that have nothing wrong with them; items that you just want to discard because you are tired of them. Recycling is important, for so many reasons. The feeling of satisfaction I get when I can "Upcycle" an old hutch or a table and chair set, to name just one. Pride, maybe, but the feeling I get when something I took the time to make beautiful and useful again, sells within hours of displaying it "for sale" anew on our floor is better than being a kid in a candy store or at the Silkweed's fudge counter, for that matter.
