In the 21st century, it is becoming more common to see both companies and their customers going green. From huge companies such as Nissan making electric cars using recycled materials, to storage companies like Alison Handling. Saving the planet may well seem like a daunting task, but with a little guidance it can be incredibly easy, and with a little creative spark, it can even be fun!

Check out these examples of the coolest ideas when it comes to upcycling your unwanted items:
