Bowls out of newspaper, magnets from bottle tops just some examples
It's being called 'upcycling'---making household items out of things we normally throw away.
Syracuse's Everson Museum is offering a class on eco-friendly uses for newspaper, bottle tops and more. Everson education director Pam McLaughlin says that besides being good for the environment, the ideas put a personal touch on everyday items---for example envelopes made from magazine pages.
The eco-friendly useables class is Saturday, May 5th, 10:30 to 1:30. It's $20, with a discount for members. Signup at www.everson.org
