6 Ways to Upcycle Magazines

Raise your hand if you’re this close to being suffocated by your impressive, yet scary, magazine collection.

We’re all guilty of filling out that little white magazine form featuring some of our favorite people and subjects asking if we’d like to subscribe to their magazine for a low annual price.  The monetary price may be low, however, the carbon footprint your extensive magazine collection can leave on your home and the planet, is anything but.
