Posted by Gina at 8:32 a. m. on 11th February 2018 New uses for old clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly- but how? One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) . If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply (应用) the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination! I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?
What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mum's sweater.

Terry B Posted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018 Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 1lth February 2018 early Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need. |
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a. m. on llth February 2018 I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I'm living less wastefully. |

Then the car drops, and you fall with it. It is a very scary but funny ride.
Another thing you can do in Tivoli is enjoying the shows. There are free shows and concerts in Tivoli every day. At the Peacock Theater, you can watch the actors perform silent theater.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don't believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five. Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies(蝴蝶) in glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked. ”Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them. ”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn't want them to be out of our house at night. ”
“But, aren't the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother's.”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else's. ”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer. “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies. ”
