  1. It is clear that there is now no excuse for not participating in even some small way to help in saving our environment.

    How many items can you find in just these shops alone that would take the place of something that you might otherwise buy brand new.

    Buying recycled or upcycled goods are an easy way to have a part in reducing the amount of goods that end up in landfills. It also helps to support small business in America. Shopping from folks like those in the Upcyclers Team is a win, win.
