Lot's of very unrelated, but cool stuff to look at this morning: recycled auto transmission household items, plantable calendars, a gadget that will turn a bottle into a lamp, and a beautiful green loft in Florence.

I like the idea of the bottle lights, but I think it's a bit misled... the really green thing to do would be to chuck the stupid plastics in the recycle bin and don't buy any more. If it fit into, say, a wine bottle or other vessel reused that's actually good looking, it might be commendable.
The calendar is a cool idea but I'm suspicious about the mass production aspect. I'd want to buy one that had flowers I could actually grow in my area. Love the prints though (although that might actually be a deterrent to planting it, lol).
