PART 1. Using a search engine, define the following terms (be sure to provide links to sites on which you find the information):
- antiques/antiquing: made in or typical of earlier times and valued for its age.
- junk/junking: Discarded material, such as glass, rags, paper, or metal, some of which may be reused in some form.
- f:lea market: an open-air street market for inexpensive or secondhand articles.
- thrift shop: A shop which sells used goods (especially clothes) at low prices.
- Salvation Army Thriftstore. 1621 Broadway St, Superior -
- upcycling: Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.
- I couldn't find any local upcycling resources.
- resale shop: the act of selling again.
PART 2: Answer the following questions:
- These terms are related to environmental health because it is reducing waste by reusing items. Things people want to throw away because they no longer have use for them, can sell them to others who want to use them for something else.
- I do some of these things. I do admit I'm not big on antiques, but I do rummage sale every so often. My grandma goes every single Friday and knows where all the "good" sales are. She has a whole bedroom devoted to all her finds.
PART 3: Get your junk on!
- Visit JunkMarketStyle.com and find three junk projects that inspire you or that you simply find cool.
- How to build a pumpkin person: I found this project cool and inspiring because it is just in time (or was) for Halloween. Making your own decorations is a good way to help the environment.
- Santa Snow Globe: I found this project interesting because it is a good/cheap way to make gifts for family members. Some of my aunts collect snow globes so it would be a gift they would really appreciate.
- Simple Monday Floral Arrangement: This seemed like a good project for me because I love flowers and having simple floral arrangements can be a good gift or even just simple decoration for your own home.

I really liked the Monday Floral Arrangement! It seems really easy and is cute!
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma was the same way. You can defiantly find some sweet deals.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I don't like about Plato's closet is that they are so picky about what they will and will not take. They will not take anything that is NOT designer or name brand and also they will not take anything that is out of date or fashion. I think their idea is right, but they should take more than the name brand items.
ReplyDeleteI remember you saying that your aunt collects snow globes during class. That is interesting and a good way to really personalize a gift!
ReplyDeleteI love the santa snow globe idea! This would be a perfect gift for you to give your aunt, like Kristen mentioned! Plus it would probably be fun for you to make!
