Izacholo ze-DIY eziPhakathisiweyo ngokuRecycling iibhotile zePlastiki

Xa unyusa iplastiki, unokuguqula inkunkuma ngokwenyani: ishampoo, i-lotion kunye neebhotile zokubonelela ngokucoca, kunye neetoti zekofu, zibe bubuncwane bobucwebe.

I-Upcycling ayiyonto intsha ndaqala ukwenza izacholo ezikwi-upcycled kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo yayingabizwa ngokuba "yi-upcycled" ngelo xesha. Uninzi lwabantu aluzange luthethe nokuba "luhlaza," kwaye ukugcina iplanethi kwakungenanto yakwenza nayo.

Kwakuphantse kube yi-20 kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye ndandinolwazi olulinganiselweyo malunga neentsimbi zasekhaya kunye nezacholo ezenziwe ngababoneleli okanye iikhathalogu zokubonelela ngobucwebe; kodwa bendisenawo umnqweno wokuqhuba ukufunda kunye nokulinga ukwenza izacholo ezivela kwizinto ezintsha nezahlukileyo.

I-Upcycle Coffee Cans Kwakhona Andikhumbuli ixesha elithile endandicinga ngalo ukwenza izacholo ngetoti yekofu; kwakunokuba lula ngenye intsasa emva kwekomityi yam yesibini okanye yesithathu yekofu. Kodwa ngandlel’ ithile ingcamango yokusika inkonkxa yekofu uze uyiguqule ibe yizacholo yayibonakala ifanelekile. Ndandingumntu othanda ikofu ngaphambi kokuba i-Starbucks ize edolophini. Oko kwakuthetha ukuba ndizenzele ngokwam, nto leyo eyandenza ndakwazi ukufikelela lula kwezo toti zentsimbi zimibalabala. Kwaye kwakusimahla.

I-Upcycling Phambi kokuba ibeyi-Upcycling ndandinyusa iinkonkxa zekofu ndazenza izacholo kwakudala ngaphambi kokuba ndazi indlela yokusebenzisa isarha yezacholo okanye iblowtorch; ngoko ndasika iinkonkxa zam ngeentsimbi zokucheba kwivenkile yasekuhlaleni. Yayingumsebenzi odinisayo ukujongana nezo ncam zekofu zibukhali.

Kwiitoti ezineeleyibhile, ndandizixobula ndize ndisebenzise iayini yokunyibilikisa ubhedu kwintsimbi engenanto.

Kuhlobo olupeyintiweyo, ndidibanise uyilo olumibalabala kumsebenzi wam.

kuthengiswe izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo ezisetyenzisiweyo ecaleni kwam kunye nobucwebe bam bobhedu kwimiboniso yobugcisa kunye nezobugcisa. Ndikhumbula indlela endandithabatheka ngayo yile nto ndandiyenza. Ootitshala, ngokukodwa, bacinga ukuba imbono yokuhlaziya iitoti zekofu yayimangalisa kwaye bathenga ukuba bazise umbono kwiiklasi zabo.
