Once you upcycle one thing, you will probably want to do it with everything you have ever used.

To get started, find the things in your house that are just sitting around gathering dust. Rather than throwing them away, think about some potential projects you could create.

For example, you can spray paint an old glass jar to make it into a modern vase or make a magazine rack with old plastic bottles.

2. Learn photography.

Look for a photography class in your area to get a grasp on how to start using your camera and then get out there and start experimenting.

3. Volunteer.

Volunteering your time may be more valuable to some organizations than a monetary donation.

Find an good organization that interests you or that you are passionate about and set up a time where you can help them with their mission on a regular basis.
