I prefer 'opinions are like arses, everyone has one and at some point it's going to stink'. " Upcycling" used to be done out of economic necessity not for the environment. You wanna look at what you can do to be eco friendly? 95% of EV batteries aren't recycled, Chinas full of EV graveyards, to make an EV requires cobalt and lithium, google how they're mined, who owns the minerals rights and how much water it takes. California hasn't got the infrastructure to support air con for everyone so there's no chance any energy grid could support EV charging. (Those running the grid in the UK account for a tea break during soaps) Windmill blades are buried when broken, so are solar panels. how do you "upcycle" them? Other than that love the idea of a chair on the wall for a mini wardrobe 👍
