The Real Life Repurposing Abundance/Waste Challenge ; 🌾 50 STEEM in Prizes 🌾 - ecoTrain Question of the Week Part 2/4
Hey guys! This is the very first real life ecoTrain challenge, where we challenge you to get creative and do something more interesting than just posting! Have you ever taken something that was totally broken and given it a new lease of life? Did you notice how much more you value and enjoy the things that you made or fixed with your own hands.. that sense of pride and achievement? It's a beautiful feeling that lives on every day and every time that you look at it. If you're not really the type of person who normally finds trash or junk and spends some time being creative with it, now is your chance to discover the joy and fun that can be had when you engage your creative juices.
As I'm sure many of you can guess, ill be re-purposing one or two old car tyres.. I'm not quite sure what I’m going to do with them yet, but I have a few interesting ideas! So if you are in the mood to do something creative, please get involved! Extra ReSpEcT points if you involve other people, especially children be they your own or someone else's! Inspiring and teaching kids is SO important as they are the ones who will determine our future!
Let me know if you have any questions, and I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments, especially if you have an idea and don’t think you can take on the challenge. Maybe you can inspire one of us to do it!

I don't know how to respond to this.
I make, fix and rebuild stuff for a living.
So... if i have an idea to make something, i make something.
And i don't usually use paper cups and egg cartons,
i use chunks of steel, aluminum and bronze; bolts, screws and rivets.
You would never know if i was repurposing something.
i could literally cast it into a new shape.
So, what is this challenge?
yeah DO it, make something cool out of old bolts. i have a cute bolt and metal statue somewhere , was a nice little ornament.
ok, this is your challenge! make this from your scraps!
