Déjà vu? Well this was highly inspired from the LEGO City Orange Recycle/Garbage Truck 7991 set. I really loved that set to be honest, but it's just too small to go with the rest of my vehicle scale. So I did my own version, just took the inspiration from that set. Modify the design a bit. Max will fit 6 minifigs in the cab. I didn't want to add the hydraulic axle. Just preferred this look better.
A prime example of Portuguese make do and mend, UTIC-bodied Volvo 9114 is seen at rest at Faro depot. The mechanical bits of this bus were rather elderly - a Volvo B755.06, which I presume was an ancestor of the B58, they dated from 1966. The bus body was its second, and was fitted in 1978.
A sculpture made from rubbish creates an impact and imparts a powerful message on the beach in Oostende.
In the background, you can see containers filled with plastic and rubbish collected on the beach for recycling.
Gigantic TVs and some not-so-big all shrink wrapped for their trip somewhere to be torn apart and their valuable components salvaged. Yes, it's a wasteful system we live in. Places like this help mitigate some of the negatives. It's the least we can do. Support your local recycling efforts!
(This location accepts anything electronic where they salvage the valuable, re-usable, and dangerous components.)
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.
I made this mini to record our summer outdoor "finds". My plan is to take pictures of all the nature-y things that the boys and I find as we are outside. We have tons of lizards, frogs, birds, and other animals in our area and the boys and I love checking them out. I plan to include pictures and write in the information about the discovery. Kind of a little science discovery notebook with pics.
I used a 12 x 12 sheet of cardboard cut into 4 x 6 rectangles. I used the HA raindrop stamp, the HA shadow screen stamp on the tree and the HA Explore and Discover stamp. I also used the HA Three Ferns stamp on the interior. There are ten pages and tags in the album and a front and back cover.
All the cardstock and pp came from my scrap pile. The pp on the tree is Flair and the other green pp is Daisy D's. The chipboard tree is Maya Road. The metal "tree swing" is from Making Memories oldddd metal line and the fuzzy date sticker is Prima.Ink is Tim Holtz Walnut Ink and Peeled Paint. TFL

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.
There are quite a few 'scavenger' people in Bangkok who specialise in collecting and recycling garbage.
recycled teenager?
Or bald middle aged man who found getting in and out of the bin more of a challenge than expected...?
Thanks Matt, had a go with sharpener pro, can you tell?

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

So far, our battery recycling program at work has collected nearly 500 batteries. :) This is from the latest batch.
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.
