Explore the wide world of creative re-use!

Meet artists who transform found objects into visual delights, and visit the Museum of Trash–curated rubbish collected by a sanitation worker. Learn about fungi, nature’s original ‘upcyclers’, and raid your kitchen for materials that can be used to mix your own watercolors. Interactive pages, scattered throughout, invite readers to ‘upcycle’ this magazine by getting involved. Join in the joke-telling, book reviewing and playlist-making. Activities, games and DIY projects also revolve around this eco-friendly theme.
