Editor's Note: Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and it’s the time of year when everyone starts heading outside to enjoy the fresh air and the warm weather. With that in mind, Jane Velez-Mitchell is proud to focus the entire hour of her show on Memorial Day on improving and maintaining one of our most precious resources: the environment.  Jane will be joined by our very special guest, Philippe Cousteau, as we highlight ways average people have been able to make a big difference.

HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell introduces you to the world of upcycled art. Upcycling is taking things you might throw away like old keys, pieces of string, or coffee packets and turning them into something useful... or even beautiful.

Jane Velez-Mitchell talks with Donna Dennison, an artist and photographer, who has made beautiful pieces out of what others have thrown away.  Check out her page trashieART.com for more upcylced art.

Please join Jane on the beautiful beaches of Southern California for a very special edition of Jane Velez-Mitchell, Memorial Day 7pm ET on HLN.
