I just want to thank everyone that helped me ten years of fighting the fear of, wanting to make something of meaning. I love you all.

Reading the headlines, I was sorry I missed the show. After looking at the pictures, I'm glad I didn't waste the time.

Nice ... but that LED Coral Reef Lamp by QisDesign costs over $2,000 ....
When are we going to see nice options that all of us can purchase that actually help the environment and that we do not have to pay more for. What is the point of this crap technology if it is garbage, and the stuff that is not garbage costs so much we do not save anything?

there isn't much about materialism that helps the environment. for some of us ikea is a viable option --they do some things like use the top 1/2 of the birch tree that is knotted -- other furniture maker's garbage. of course if you buy a 10. coffee table you get what you pay for.

Some interesting craft projects, but none seem to really go far in actually creating a market for recycling goods. I'd love to see some more development of day-to-day consumer goods from recyclables, something that would actually create a market for recycling goods.

I wish that they would expand recycling out to the boonies where I live, I bring the aluminum to the scrap yard, the plastic bags back to the grocery store, the vegetable matter and egg shells go in the compost but that still leaves a lot that has nowhere to go. I reuse what I can, and try to buy stuff with the least packaging but it still isn't enough.

What value is generosity through God's coercion.

The best green furniture is the one you already own. There is nothing green about buying new furniture.

That's true unless it is really really wasteful in energy usage.
