Preventing the future degradation of the natural environment is an immediate impetus for all of humanity.
Through upcycling, we prevent the cycle of waste that has been the status quo.
Spreading a renewed awareness of upcycling in your community can help create the new norm.
Break the Cycle - Upcycle
- The United States disposes more than 1/2 its solid waste in landfills. This makes the U.S one of the top contributors to landfill waste.
- Landfills are known to cause a variety of negative health effects including cancer and emit toxic odors through ammonia and sulfide gases.
- 25 billion tons of invaluable topsoil is lost per year due to landfill use.
- 80% of items tossed out in landfills are able to be recycled.
So What Can You Do?
