Talk about building with nature instead of against it ... Check out this amazing home in Missouri. It was built in a natural cave with tons of green amenities, and now the owners might be forced to sell. (It's listed on eBay.) Get the whole story.
Also: green screen-printed wallpaper, urban composting, green skills, and a newspaper vs. web smackdown. Get all the links after the jump.
Are you an urban composter? You aren't alone. Check out how peops are doing it in New York City.
Think reading the news online is greener than reading print? Think again...
It may not seem all that green, but taking the time to learn a new skill (sewing, maybe?) is one of the best things you can do for the environment.
This screenprinted wallpaper by Mark Giglio is printed on recyclable paper with water-based and soy inks.

I don't know if I would call that home "with nature" since it started as a sandstone mine and not a natural cave (you don't want to live in a natural cave or near running water... trust me.. or just ask why Fallingwater is nicknamed "Rising Mildew").

Exactly, Jason. I was about to comment on that. The owners have said themselves that this home is an old mine that was once a roller rink and a concert venue. They've said that they do NOT recommend living in a natural cave.
