What to upcycle and how to upcycle are unequivocally important but for me the most significant question is why to upcycle? The reason to upcycle are immense. One, it is for the greater cause of protecting the environment from decreasing the waste from landfills and reducing cost for resources. Secondly, my interest in the upcycling is that it magnifies on the...

No limitations to imaginations. Making a bench, like one done by HoH might not be easy at first but with time, practice, and tools these can be carved out well. The rest is up to the Upcyclers and their creativity.

There are many sustainable and eco-friendly companies involved in upcycling and recycling businesses today. While searching for such great companies, I came across “Looptworks [ looped works ].

I am really amazed to see how they are turning trash into gold (valuable). Besides the fact that so much little resources are needed (scissors, sewing machine, etc.) However, I particularly loved their passion in the process. As far as the question is concern about making it. I believe it is a team work and to have such a great team will definitely produce...

Hi Kiyomi,

Upcycling is taking a single or multiple ready-to-waste products and changing them to something new. On the contrary, recycling takes the industrials process of products or materials with the intention to either make something new or same.
Upcycling is also referred to as the "creative recycling", that needs not any industrial process but rather changes the... -

All the outlined goals are quite important to take into consideration. However, the goals pertinent to my community are 1st , 2nd, 4th and 6th.

The most critical environmental challenge that I see in my community is the very attitude of "who cares?" and "who does care?". The fact is that nobody cares. However, the critical challenge in terms of the environment is the pollution, solid waste and the rapidly ongoing deforestation.

When I see around, I see the misinterpretation and the inability to differentiate between the actual problem and symptoms. We often say that we have pollution problems, we have waste management problems, and problems like global warming. However, these are only the symptoms. Besides the fact, I believe the most threatful and significant challenges are the...

Like i have mentioned in my previous comment that their concerns are valid. one of the common concern shown by the three is robots taking over or humans being replaced. i am gonna say again what i believe is AI machines or robots cannot replace us until we give away our power of control. by nature humans like to control because that is how they feel valued....

Being an android user i have seen how Google photos categorize different photos based on facial characteristics. Additionally, the phone also detects different locations i have been to. Other good examples i have witnessed is of course the voice recognition, translating texts and health fitness apps.

Though i have had a very less experience with managers. what i have learned so far is that, what makes a good manager is how approachable he/she is and how they approach you.
Secondly, a good manager knows the skill of motivation and and knows how to uplift your enthusiasm. Lastly, i believe they must have a magic of humor. -

Since "appeal to emotion" is very common and easy, that makes a me a bit prone to it. but trying my best to encounter it.
secondly "Appeal to popularity" is what i had experienced with myself rather than confirming. but thats not the case anymore. i am glad i chose this course, experience is now quite different and great. -
