Download "Upcycling: what is it and why it matters"

We all know what recycling means, and how important it is when it comes to taking care of the environment and global warming. But there is another practice that can also help lower our carbon emissions and reduce the volume of discarded materials and waste being sent to landfills each year. And it is called UPCYCLE, Upcycling is to repurpose a product giving it a new life after it’s lifecycle is finished. it also reduces the need for production using new or raw materials which means a reduction in air pollution, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and often conservation of global resources In this video, I wanted to share with you the life of Jorge, a senior Peruvian Israeli citizen who practices Upcycling constantly. He upcycles things that he finds in the garbage and with this, he builds his entire apartment. He doesn't do it to save money, in fact, he gives away 90% of the things he makes, from art to furniture. I also want to show you that in Russia the practice of upcycling is extremely common, it’s literally everywhere, in the parks with upcycled tiers turned into swans and upcycled tanks! I truly believe that if we all start shifting our mindset we can make a huge difference and fix climate change.
