Eye Opener: Junk On The Brain

1. antiques/antiquing- is shopping for an old collectible item
  • junk/junking- Junking is the retrieval of ordinarily discarded things and materials
  • flea market-a type of bazaar where inexpensive or secondhand goods are sold or bartered
  • thrift shop-Thrift stores are generally owned by a charity, and have secondhand goods for sale
  • upcycling- involves processing used materials into new products
  • resale shop-basically the same thing as a thrift shop, but items aren't always as old
2. Instead of us all going out and spending money on new products, we can sometimes find cool items that are already in the world, instead of creating more waste.
