The value of upcycling

Recycling is a well-known idea that refers to reusing waste materials in any way possible. But what about “upcycling”? It’s a new word, even though it’s something that has been going on since human 1 began. It means reusing waste materials so that they have greater value. Throughout history, people have always done creative things with “trash”. For example, they’ve used straw and dead leaves to make roofs, skin from dead animals to make leather goods, and wood from 2 trees to make boats. So why is there a new word for it now?

One answer to this question is that we reuse fewer and fewer things, and so have become a (n) “ 3 ” society. This has raised huge questions about waste: Where can we 4 it all? Will it pollute the environment? Could it be 5 to our health? The evidence is everywhere—even in the Pacific Ocean, where billions of bits of broken 6 float near the surface. Fish eat them, and then we eat the fish.

So upcyclers have adopted this new word to focus people’s attention on how waste cannot simply be reused, but be reused 7 . In fact, upcyclers don’t like the idea of waste and prefer to call it an “asset”, something of value. Nowadays, there are lots of organizations that 8 products with upcycled material. Some artists and designers have upcycled things like denim from old jeans to make rugs, and wood from old houses to make furniture. Others have even used candy wrappers to make handbags! Sometimes they’ll add a(n) 9 element to their products, such as a beautiful mosaic (马赛克) made with broken dishes. With a (n) 10 supply of “assets”, it seems that upcycling has a great future.

World leaders get some face-to-face time at the U.N. climate summit

Sometimes in diplomacy, the sideline(副业) is where all the action is. That was the case at the 1 of the Paris climate summit on Nov. 30, where nearly 150 world leaders met in one of the largest such 2 in history. They were ostensibly(表面的) there to talk about global warming, but with Paris less than three weeks removed from a 3 terrorists attack and the Middle East in chaos, presidents and prime ministers took the opportunity to discuss global security 4 just offstage of the summit. So president Obama sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk about the 5 in Syria and Ukraine, and with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the possibility of broader anti-terrorism 6 . Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinan Authority President Mahmoud Abbas----sharply at 7 this year even found time to exchange a rare handshake at the summit.

The threat of terrorism 8 the sideline discussions----so much so that some critics asked why it wasn’t the main event. But climate change and terrorism are part of the same threat. National security experts have warned for years that climate change 9 to the social instability that in turn feeds extremist groups like ISIS. Before leaving Paris, Obama made the same point: “This one 10 , climate change, affects all trends.” And it will only be stopped by global action.

Now, let me say a few words to our American friends: Climate change is one of the major 1 of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global. Everyone is impacted.
