We’ve been Tumbling for about 3 months now and have found many creative people that share our passion for the 3 Rs – especially reuse.
“Thinking Outside the Bin” can spark many positives, including saving money, exercising the right side of your brain or purely expanding your awareness of household-generated waste. These beneficial attributes, when combined with eye-catching imagery on Tumblr, are an excellent way to ignite and motivate progressive thinking, creating, and living. Here are 6 unique Tumblr blogs that share our mission to recreate “trash” into beauty and these are their stories. Happy Tumbling!

Tumblr blog:Unconsumption: Your Daily Source of Inspiration for Creative Reuse and Mindful Consumption
Aiming to inspire creative reuse and mindful consumer behavior, this Tumblr was recently named by Time as one of ”30 Must-See Tumblr Blogs.”
We asked Unconsumption’s founder and editor, Rob Walker, what they’ve been working on lately. “Our widely praised Uncollection project invites readers everywhere to join in the upcycling fun by using our Creative Commons-licensed logo in repurposing projects and sharing their creations via our Facebook page,” Walker said. “We’ll spotlight the coolest results on our popular Tumblr!”
Unconsumption’s logo depicts an iconic upside-down shopping cart, as seen in the submitted reuse creation image by Alpha Wilson.
