Re-New Community Upcycling Store
Well, I tried to take some time off. I really need it. But, turns out I’m not very good at it.

If you are looking for a positive way to contribute to a better future, for us all, look at upcycling. It’s not a new thing, it’s just a new word.
It is something we have, as a species, always done, from the days of prehistoric humans using sticks and stones and bones to make tools and weapons, to luxury manufacturers using cowhide to make fabulous upholstery. It’s just what we do.

Ask me how. Go on. I dare ya!
