Upcycling, put simply, is the process of putting old products to better use.
Given the rising importance of environmental issues (see London’s climate change protests this week), now is a better time than ever to do our part and get involved. London – if you search – is brimming with upcycling events including sustainable styling workshops, clothes swaps and similar happenings for books and even food; so It’s easier than you think to start doing your part. Here are 4 upcoming events that you should think about attending…

WIW also encourage attendees to bring a canvas bag to avoid plastic usage, so it’s a win win.
