The striking metal table above was fabricated from the hood of a 20+ year old car. Joel Hester creates tables, armories and bed frame sets out of recycled car hoods/parts. I like the idea of giving our forests a breather and building furniture from objects that would otherwise just be sitting in a junk yard [...]

I found this great site http://www.whatiswaste.com/ while looking for blog topics for Earth Day this past week. The site is all about innovative companies from all over that are not just “talking the talk” of being green and sustainable but also “walking the walk” and coming up with [...]

The idea of creating an everyday object like a desktop computer out of cardboard can at first be an discomforting idea. A few negative thoughts come to mind when thinking about this possibility i.e., fire hazard, poor water resistance, and lack of structural durability.
