A
subcategory of the
DIY ethic. A form of
recycling where, instead of sending off your
used junk to some
far-off factory that processes your
cans into your
car, you recycle your stuff
right here and now.
An example of this is
making your shoes out of a tire. You simply recycle your things for yourself.
Of course, it doesn't always have to take the form of
irregular DIY, but can simply be mashing your
paper and remaking it.
