'Refurbishing stuff may feel a bit out of your comfort zone but there’s nothing to lose if it’s an item you would otherwise throw away. You don’t know what you can do until you try.' | ✍️ Adrian Foreman
Most of the time I’m fairly laid back – but not when it comes to waste. It feels like we’ve forgotten how much energy, effort and materials go into stuff and we’re far too quick to relegate them to the rubbish pile.
If we had a better understanding of what resources were required to create a replacement for things we throw away, we might think twice about being wasteful. But since lockdown, and more recently as people are feeling the financial pinch, we’ve seen a demand boom for second-hand business items.Upcycling is also a real trend and people care more about the environmental impact of their purchases.
The first piece of advice I always give is not to replace items too quickly. When something stops working it’s too easy to order a replacement straight away and bin the older item. Always see if it can be fixed first.
