Part I:
Antiques: an old collectible item. It is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era in human society. Junk: waste, any undesired thing or substance.
Flea Market: a type of bazaar where inexpensive or secondhand goods are sold or bartered. It may be indoors, such as in a warehouse or school gymnasium; or it may be outdoors, such as in a field or under a tent.
Thrift Shop: A shop that sells used articles, especially clothing, as to benefit a charitable organization.
Upcycling: involves processing used materials into new products, or the re-use of a product with crippled functionality for alternative purposes, to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production, with the intent of creating a product of higher quality design and artistic value.
Resale Shop: The selling of a good to another party after having purchased it.
PART 2: Answer the following questions:
1.What do the terms above have to do with environmental health?
These terms identify with environmental health because they all have to do with reusing things. Antiques are reusing furniture, thrift shops are usually reselling clothing etc.
2.Identify at least one local resource for each of the terms above...provide name, location, contact info, and link to website or blog.

From Card Table to Wall Art:
I thought this was an awesome, cheap way to decorate. It looks good too!!
Vintage Redesign Jewelry - From Raw Elements to Fun:
Just thought this piece of jewelry looked cool. Not something I would wear but I think that it is very artistic and interesting.
This seemed like an interesting concept to me. Picnic's are fun but a retro picnic would be even better!!!

That card table is really neat, looks pretty professional too!
ReplyDeleteThe table looks really cool. When we were talking about it in class I was thinking about the card tables I have and they are no where near as neat as that one.
