Up-Cycling

So I have been hearing about upcycling, rather than recycling.  Upcycling is putting an about to be discarded article to a different use, like melding metal scraps into a chair.

I was on the subway, studying the human condition, and I saw this awesome display of upcycling:  a men’s blazer re-worked at a satchel!!

(I took it with my blackberry camera so the resolution is not so great.) 

What a relief to know that upcycling has nothing to do with a spin class at the gym.
