Some time ago I came across a wonderful blog titled Unconsumption. If consumption is the act of acquiring an object, unconsumption is anything that happens to that object after acquisition. In short, the blog is about recycling, reusing, and creative re-purposing of items that would be discarded otherwise.

Some recent highlight from Unconsumption:
- a TIE Fighter made of Starbucks cups and coffee stirrers
- Dumpster pools in Brooklyn
- a trivet made out of wine corks
- packing materials transformed into a play area
- old playground ball made into a hanging planter
