I went downtown to our Saturday Farmer's Market this afternoon and there was also a "recycled arts festival" going on. Tons of people, booths and art work.
Below: Is it really necessary to take your dog to the farmer's market on the hottest day of the year?. Most if not all of the dogs I saw there looked absolutely miserable. If it's scorching hot for humans, how do you think dogs feel w/ all that fur and walking on asphalt?. I swear, people don't have a brain in their head. Sorry for venting. It just makes me mad how clueless people can be.
These handle all the commercial recycling save for cardboard dumpsters, and residential recycling where ever front load dumpsters are used for trash. The truck is split, but everything is single stream now.
I went to the Sugar Bowl this weekend in New Orleans. First, I drove to my brother's house in Georgia on Thursday. On Friday, we drove to N.O. and watched the Sugar Bowl. The game sucked as Bama got their butts handed to them.
In addition to that, we were tired after the game, so we just went back to the hotel room and crashed. No fun, no pictures....no WIN! On Saturday, we had some breakfast and then we drove back to Georgia.
The only saving grace for this whole trip is that I did manage to get some shots in a couple of places I don't go very often. This shot was taken at the Recycling Center in Auburn, Alabama. There were HUGE piles of wine bottles, beer bottles, beer cans, etc. As soon as I saw this, I thought, "Geeze, these people drink a lot."
It was nice to see so many people (or a few VERY serious drinkers) recycling so much. This was a great facility that made it easy for people to drop off their recyclable materials.

Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
1) Photovoltaic solar energy system
2) Grey water recycling system - takes water from the -bathroom sinks and showers, and the washing machine, filtering it and pumping it to the fruit trees in the garden
3) Rain water collection system
4) Passive Cooling - uses low windows on the windward side and high windows on the leeward side of the house. Cross ventilation is maximized by eliminating most of the interior walls and aligning windows and sliding glass doors. Ceiling fans are distributed across the ceiling to move the warm air out when there is no natural breeze.
5) In order to reduce the size of the house, we used efficient efficient custom storage system of movable shelves and cabinets runs through the length of the house. This allows for a smaller, but smarter building.
6) Natural Daylighting - uses interior clerestory windows and transoms to allow all of the rooms to borrow light from each other.
Materials
1) recycled flooring for the first structure, patched together and left roughly finished.
2) plywood floors for the second structure
3) Ceilings of both structures are plywood, cut into horizontal boards.
4) Composite decking made of recycled content.
5) All of the Interior doors are made of recycled flooring from the existing house
6) Poured in place concrete countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, use recycled fly ash
8) Non VOC Paints and Stains
9) All plumbing fixtures are low-flow energy efficient
10) All electrical appliances are energy star rated
-LED and fluorescent lighting fixtures
11) Ductless Mini-Split HVAC system zoned for maximum efficiency

I had a choice of two dresses for tonight this one and a lovely yellow summer type dress that I really wanted to wear.
By the time I left work it was raining so I chose this dress and it was probably the better of the two considering.
Have to say this dress is a real survivor, I have lost count how many times it has been destined for the recycle bin only to be saved from the brink . Its just an easy to wear item just a shame its sort of straight up and down so doesn't give me much shape, so no doubt I will keep it for a while yet.
So far, our battery recycling program at work has collected nearly 500 batteries. :) This is from the latest batch.
This card was inspired by sneak peek #2 heroarts.com/blogs/club/2009/11/13/hero-arts-2010-catalog.... I love the tranquil, natural look of the peek and the gorgeous colours.
I must have been in recycling mode for this card! A while ago a friend gave me books of upholstery fabric samples so I used a couple of these fabrics on this card. The Happy Wishes image is stamped on a linen type fabric using distress inks and the bottom panel is a strip of faux suede. All of the buttons are recycled off old clothes and the twine is recycled too. I used the emboss resist technique on the top panel using white ep and shabby shutters and broken china distress ink. Finished off the card with some machine stitching.
There are quite a few 'scavenger' people in Bangkok who specialise in collecting and recycling garbage.
I took a break from my work to make this desk-set. Made from recycled cans. Used vintage sheet music and a vintage hankie to cover the cans. Then used some vintage trim and buttons for embellishing. Used a vintage greeting card for the flower, trimmed with a little touch of vintage German glass glitter. So much fun--but now it's back to organizing my craft room.
A shot of a little courtyard garden in Holt. Pleased to see the old mangle is still in use if only for decoration.
I was visiting DoES Liverpool yesterday, and got to see in the flesh these awesome recycled flowers made by Jackie Pease. If you look at her Instagram you'll see them lit up, but when I visited they looked wonderful just as they are in the defused sunlight.
I regret not standing slightly further back for this one to get slightly wider context, but I'm really pleased with how the natural lighting worked on this one.
I've created a tutorial for you to create your own felt flower! Tutorial can be found at: whipup.net/2008/11/07/felt-flower-tutorial/
This is what happens when you invite Photocillin over for a birthday party.....call social services.
Don't worry gentle viewers no kids were harmed in the making of this shot and no alcohol was drunk by miners... kids I'm not so sure but there were definitiely no miners at the party
Happy Birthday to Sally, whose gorgeous kids these are.
I really enjoy living in Portland. The city is quaint and quirky, and green, in some ways more than others. I am not going to go into too much depth here because I didn't feel like looking up a lot of facts and figures. I didn't feel like looking them up because if someone were to try just as hard in the other direction they could probably find figures and numbers to refute the ones I took all that time to look up.
So I am not going to talk about what percentage of Portlanders use mass transit, or how many bicycles per capita there are. How many green parks we have. Or how efficient our recycling system is. Portland definitely is a green city. Portland definitely also to a certain extent buys into her own hype.
But the truth is, even if the extent is arguable, that this city makes a certain collective effort to stay green. I appreciate that.
Mainly though I appreciate the little things about this city, such as walking down a neighborhood street and being able to stroll through the shadows of trees.
Being able to drive for less than 20 minutes to Forest Park where it is actually possible to walk several miles without hearing the sound of a car.
Being able browse through a farmer's market in downtown.
Bike lanes, I really really appreciate the bike lanes. Lots of them.
And these are just a few. Like I said, I really do not want this to ramble on for too long. In short, this city does a lot to stay green, to be eco-friendly. In short, there is a lot that could still be done. It is not enough to stand around glad-patting ourselves over our past achievements. And yes Portland does this to a certain extent, but it is also still very forward thinking regarding future eco-friendliness.
Honestly though, all that is sort of an aside, I just liked this photo and wanted to post it. I could not help adding a few wandering thoughts to go along with it. I actually saw this while shooting a wedding on a boat (have never done that before). As we were wrapping up I saw these dumpsters and the tree painted on the side of the building and just had to grab a shot of it. I made sure the trim the negatives off of the roll when they were developed as the rest was all wedding shots, and somehow I didn't think this would be a shot that they would have wanted for their album. Then again... maybe they would have.
Gemäß einer im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichten Presse-Information des deutschen Umweltbundesamts schneiden Dosen im Vergleich zu Mehrweg-Getränkeverpackungen aus ökologischer Sicht nach wie vor schlecht ab.
Hier wurde eine Wand aus Getränkedosen "recycelt"
Recycling of scrap cans
According to a study published in 2010 Press release of the German Federal Environmental Agency cut doses than returnable beverage containers from an ecological perspective remains poorly.
Here was a wall of cans "recycled"
