Indeed, if eco-chic design sounds like music to your ears, check out this coin purse made from repurposed CDs over at the NeatoShop: Link | More Recycled items | Green Products

Want an earth friendly way to upcycle old manga or maybe even telephone books! How about using them to grow radish or other sprouts, like this project by Japanese artist Koshi Kawachi. It would make in interesting conversation piece. My only concern would be that the book might get moldy after a few days, but perhaps you could transplant them into a pot or garden.

If you’re like the most of us, what you do to your junk is just throw them in one bin. Of course, there are also these people that segregate plastics from this and that.
And then, there’s upcycling:
The recyclers are out in force. Whether it’s using a local recycle centre or a council-provided green bin, it’s never been easier to get your household waste processed back into useful raw materials. But that takes energy – and why spend that energy when this “rubbish” can be turned into something useful in its present form?
