  • In New Orleans, the Trashman Will Have to Move Mountains: According to this article in the NYTimes, New Orleans has 22 million tons of waste needing to be disposed of RIGHT NOW. This is "more trash than any American city produces in a year." And guess what? It's largely toxic, which brings us to the central problem of our time - how to continue to live, work and create and not pollute the earth. See next link for the answer.

  • Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things We never complain of a cherry tree that it makes too much waste. Why? Because every petal the cherry tree drops on the ground isn't considered waste; it's food. This book is not only a good read, it's THE BOOK that explains how we can do the same thing (and some already are).

    That's the best sink I've ever seen.

    Where can you purchase black+blum products in the U.S.? I'm looking to get the reading lamp, but all the sellers seem to be UK based.

    "Clearly this was designed by a man."
    You must be joking with that comment, says a member of the fairer sex. Need I remind you that women use toilet paper EVERY time we're in the bathroom?
    I didn't realize that that Office and Throne were still the man's world. Sigh.

    That Oops chair is brilliant. Amazing handcrafting.

    I can't believe y'all are talking about the TP holder and not THAT CHAIR!!!!

    OMG THE CHAIR.

    I want one.

    What else is there to say? It's brilliant.

    Wait a second, am i wrong or isn't it one of man's chief pleasures - spending inordinate amount of time reading on the throne. I got the feeling that the fairer sex didn't savour this type of diversion...

    Maxwell, that was certainly a chief hobby of my old neighbor, whose toilet we could see through our dining room window. Might I point out that his back was incredibly hairy, as well. (Not that that's his fault, but it just added to the picturesque tableau)
