After witnessing the vast quantities of waste after the Thanksgiving holidays, I began to question the rationality behind throwing things away. It is a known fact that modern society fuels frivolous spending and carelessness. We are quick to accept the consequence of waste in order to maintain our desired standards of living. However, what people fail to recognize is that they are ultimately increasing spending by disposing of items rather than finding practical alternatives for its use. Maybe its because they lack the imagination to see beyond the concrete functions or maybe it is pure ignorance. Ultimately, an expiration date on a food item or an empty bottle does not constitute an invaluable product. Instead, it presents a list of endless possibilities. Have fun with it and create something unexpected.
Take this for example: a fully functioning chandelier made out of recycled glass bottles - GENIUS!
