An initiative from North Carolina-based nonprofit group Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is living proof that upcycling can be used to save lives.
The organization, which provides sanctuary, rescue, and rehabilitation services to a wide variety of wildlife, has recently been inundated with a high number of injured turtles, many of which have had their shells fractured after being hit by cars, boats, and even lawnmowers. A fix was in order to keep the shells of these poor reptiles together, and it was found in part of an everyday clothing item — the simple bra clasp.
