IN HONOR OF EARTH DAY

In honor of everything our planet has done for us, it deserves a little recognition.

This chair is environmentally friendly due to the fact that this chair is made from old furniture parts and also tells the history of previous pieces.

Happy Eath Day and remember to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!

RAISED GARDEN BED INSPIRATION

In an effort to be more sustainable I have decided to build raised garden beds, but I haven't decided on the design and style I want to go with. Here are some inspiration pictures that I have been looking at to give me ideas of what I want to do.

Which one do you think I should go for? Have any other great raised garden bed ideas?

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

Its a little late, but I still wanted to post about Earth Day.  I came across this great post about Heineken bottles being designed to double as bricks on Inhabitat. Alfred Heineken thought up the Heineken WOBO bottle (world bottle) while in the Carribean. He was troubled by the trashed beaches and lack of existent dwellings for low income people.

So he created a bottle that is square in shape and lays horizontally.  The new shape is meant to have the bottles interlock with eachother. This idea of reusing the beer bottles as bricks never took off, but there are a few structures that were created.  Many people thought this project never took off because the bottles were ahead of their time.

Happy Earth Day!
