Asi 1 Name Professor W English 100 01 March 2018 Repurposing Housing Repurposing or upcycling is the process of changing the use of a particular household item by making a new use for it. Repurposing has been a rising trend in the current century as people needs have evolved. The 21st century is filled with technological development and advanced human thinking which has made it possible to use a household item for several uses. Children in schools are taught on ways of becoming creative which have made them using the basic items present in their homes for diverse uses. Items that in the past have been viewed as useless in the modern world hold an important place in performing duties in a household. Repurposing of the household items has been greatly contributed by the following factors; people have become more cautious on climatic changes and hence have taken measures to protect the environment. Secondly, repurposing has enabled households to increase storage space as some items can be converted and create a storage space. Finally, repurposing has promoted creativity amongst people who have enabled them to earn a living. Preservation of the environment is at the forefront of every business, family, and government. This is because the climatic conditions that are experienced currently have been described as abnormal as the world is experiencing hotter summers and extremely cold winters. People have been advised to avoid any activities that are likely to cause unusual weather Asi 2 changes. People have been advised to avoid burning plastic materials as they emit toxic gases that affect the ozone layer. People’s attitude towards the environment determines how they recycle used products, (Lopez et al., Pg.35). Moreover, people have been taught on the various ways that they can upcycle the plastic materials they own in their homes to ensure that they do not throw them. Starbucks is one of the famous coffee houses that packs people's coffee on plastic take away cups. People used to throw away the cups as they believed had no other use. However, Starbucks management has encouraged its customers to reuse the cups in their homes where they can carry home brewed coffee to their schools or workplace. Plastic bags are used in horticulture in keeping the young flowers. The flowers are allowed to grow until they produce roots then later transferred to the farms. Asi 3 Secondly, repurposing has become a rampant practice in the household due to the need for extra space. Human beings are attached to their materials as they remind them of the past and help keep the memories alive. However, as time goes by, the materials in store increases especially if a family consist of many family members and in the long run there may be no place to pack. A family then needs to look for a way to increase the storage space available for all the relevant materials and hence some items in the household will have to be used to create an extra storage space. Asi 4 Most storage units in homes are mostly garages which are turned to storage units when a family wants to reduce the number of items present in a household. In order to increase the storage space in a garage, an unused ladder can be dismantled to create shelves where books and documents can be kept. According to Mitchell, shelving enables a place to look bigger ant neat (Mitchell, Pg. 60) Moreover, gift boxes present in a house can be used as stationery holders where people put their pens and other writing materials. Asi 5 Finally, for the repurposing of household items to be relevant and effective people need to have a certain level of creativity. One cannot create another use for a product unless they are taught on how to go about it or are creative. Some people are naturally creative and hence do not need to be taught on how to be creative. However, some people require being trained on ways to repurpose in order to practice it. Creative people have set up blogs that teach people on the repurposing of items, and due to the views, they get they are able to earn a certain percentage. The latter is because bloggers are able to understand the customer needs and meet them within a short time (Archer & Harrigan, Pg.70). Also, people can repurpose a certain item in their household and then sell it to people at an affordable price. A person can repurpose a crib to be a magazine rack that can be sold to be and to show them how to arrange magazines on the crib. Also, shutters lying around in the house can be ‘deshuttered' where they are placed where everybody can see them. The shutters are used to keep mails and house and car keys such that they are accessible to all. Asi 6 In conclusion, repurposing household items helps in keeping the house neat and ensuring that people do not get hurt. In order for a family to keep precious memories alive, they need extra storage space. To an extra income, a person should go out of their way to teach people on repurposing their household items. To conserve the environment people need to be careful about how they dispose of waste materials especially plastic bags. To achieve all the above-mentioned goals every family should uphold repurposing of their items at any given time. Asi 7 Works Cited Archer, Catherine, and Harrigan Paul.
