Today I got an email from the TOMS corporation telling me ways to upcycle old TOMS. It turns out that upcycing is different than recycling. Upcycling is when you " converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value" (Wikipedia). I had never heard of upcycling before I got that email, but I think that it's an intersting idea. The wikipedia article has a quote where a man calls recycling "downcycling". He thinks that upcycling is the better alternative. Will upcycling become the new recycling? We'll just have to wait and see.
