QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS

• Look around your home. What’s one item you could transform into something useful? How would you do it?
• Have you ever reused or repurposed something? How did it feel to give it a second life?
• What’s an item you’ve seen thrown away that you think could have been reused or upcycled? What would you do with it?
• If you had to live with only the items in your kitchen, how could you creatively reuse or repurpose them?
• Imagine you’re opening a shop where everything is upcycled. What would you sell, and why?
• What do you think is the hardest part of repurposing or upcycling items? How can we make it easier for people?
• Think about a material that’s hard to recycle (like glass or plastic). What are some creative ways to extend its life?
• What would your life look like if you reused or transformed every item you planned to throw away?
• What is something you own that you’ve never used? How could you make it useful?
• If you were in charge of teaching others about reusing and upcycling, what would you tell them? How would you inspire them?
