8x10 picture frame made from reclaimed maple flooring.
The wood in this frame came from the floor of the former John Deere factory in Syracuse NY. The building was approximately 100 years old. ReUse Action was contracted to remove the wooden beams and flooring from the warehouse before it was demolished.
Several thousand square feet of hard maple flooring was recovered and re-sold to be used as beautiful reclaimed flooring in residential housed.
We used a few pieces of this flooring to create this picture frame. The wood shows its age and experience: years of farmer's boots shuffling across it, machines dragged across it, sacks of feed and probably even animal marks on it.
This frame was made of part of the floor that was never painted and part of the floor that had been painted red. Both show the wear and tear of the feed and seed warehouse.
We love all these random marks and patina that simply cannot be duplicated artificially.
This frame embodies our eco philosophy. Most components are reclaimed materials. The glass is salvaged from old stock or from window sashes. Only the glaziers points biscuits and carpenter's glue are new materials. Each is coated with Minwax water based urethane.
In the scheme these crafts make a miniscule difference in the fate of the environment. However building materials comprise the largest part of landfills. Anaerobically rotting wood and other organic components contribute significantly to climate change by releasing methane as a byproduct.

This terminal is not just pretty to look at. It is also designed for efficiency. See the black rectangular box? That is a trash can, but not a typical trash can. It is an automatic trash compactor and there are 55 of them placed around the new Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal at the Atlanta Airport. Each holds 8-12 bags of trash, saving on labor, hauling, and trash liners. Plus, customers will never get sight of over-flowing trash.

Green Living Show, North America's largest green and healthy living show, celebrates the 10th anniversary! It is bigger & better than ever before!
Company drinks at the 100 Mile Cafe. Nice venue with lots of natural materials in the dining area. Because it was a rather cold day, I had a hot chocolate. Every one else was complaining about the rather ordinary boutique beers that have been sourced from within 100 miles of the shop. Apparently later in the evening, they started serving beers flavoured with coriander! That was just a bit weird.
At least it's local food-philosophy is more or less sound, as it the water-saving hand-basins that are de-rigour in Japan.

The Eco Fashion Week (EFW) is a bi-annual fashion show that focuses on promoting and supporting the idea of sustainability, educate the public about care for the environment and by leading the clothing industry in creating apparel that is at once fashionable, trend-setting and earth-friendly. The green wearing and organic clothing event Is also one component of the green economy for the city as well. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson thinks EFW also helps position Vancouver as ‘the global capital of eco-friendly and sustainable fashion, nicely aligns with the City of Vancouver’s goal to be the “World’s Greenest City” by 2020’ as stated in the mayor’s letter of support to the show’s organizers.

A day in a Junkyard
Salahuddin Ahmad, Melbourne Polytechnic, Victoria, Australia.
Either it is an accident or beyond its age, our carefully handled favourite car gets old, damaged, rusty, abandoned or impounded and becomes unwanted. It then finds a temporary shelter in a junkyard. A junkyard is also known as a car wrecker, a place where damaged or old vehicles are broken up and recycled to obtain useable parts and scrap metal.
Junkyards make a significant contribution to the economy. It is estimated that the vehicle attrition rate in Australia is 4.1% which is approximately 700,000 vehicles a year and produces 980,000 tonnes of waste each year. Thus, it requires a significant amount of workforce involvement to safely dispose of these vehicles as well as sustain the growth of this industry.
Imlachs Self Serve Auto Parts, a junkyard in Springvale, Victoria is a busy place full of activity throughout the day. People come here to sell their unwanted cars as scrap metal or collect recyclable parts from the damaged vehicles. There are 3 multi-dismantling machines, 2 forklifts, 6 trucks and 4 automotive lifts in operation with 36 shift workers to operate and run the business.
The Junkyard offers an environmentally friendly place to dispose of unused and unwanted vehicles. These unwanted cars contain toxic battery acids, toxic chemicals, engine oils and other fluids which can cause long term damage to soils, water and air quality. To minimise the environmental impacts, the most environmentally friendly way is to dispose of them in a junkyard with authorized operators.
Location: Imlachs Self Serve Auto Parts, Springvale, Victoria, Australia.

The ECO Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 (SS2013) or Season 5 (EFW05) line-up of sustainable, earth-loving and environmentally-friendly fashion designers includes Nicole Bridger, Standing Arm, Rise, Mala Imports, Voyou, Ressac, Respecterre, C5H8 and others. Value Village continues to support the event featuring designs by Nicolette Lang-Andersen, Mimi Lauzon and Tony Vu. Kim Cathers offers her unique brand of 68 Pound Challenge with Adhesif Clothing b y Melissa Ferreira closes the runway show on Thursday.
On Friday (Oct 19), the last day of the ECO Fashion Week SS2013 is a series of seminars covering a range of industry subjects such as labor, manufacturing, trends, upcycling, consumer awareness etc. with ECO Fashion Week CEO & Founder Myriam Laroche and other industry experts like Martin Hojsik (Greenpeace), Tara Sawatsky (Canopy) and others.
Eco fashion designers mostly use recycled, reclaimed and vintage fabrics for their clothing creation. As a result, a lot of the clothing designs are one-of-a-kind, or as designer Myco Anna describes hers, ‘every piece is unique in the way it combines new and recycled fabrics and fibers like a kaleidoscope.’ Some designers also give away scrap or surplus fabrics to other textile artists to utilize and work with, adhering to a totally no-waste and everything-recycled principle.

Jerusalem is blessed with over 300 sunny days per year, but our solar collectors do not function in the dark. The sun's radiant energy heats water in the black coated pipes, and it is stored in 120 or 150 liter tanks. The next morning your hot shower is ready, even on cloudy days.
This marvelous cycle is repeated daily, with environmentally friendly free hot water most of the year.

Trivia: The Ivanpah Project being developed for California's BrightSource Energy, will produce enough solar electric power for 140,000 homes and reduce CO2 emissions by 400,000 tons per year.

4x4 picture frame made from reclaimed maple flooring.
The wood in this frame came from the floor of the former John Deere factory in Syracuse NY. The building was approximately 100 years old. ReUse Action was contracted to remove the wooden beams and flooring from the warehouse before it was demolished.
Several thousand square feet of hard maple flooring was recovered and re-sold to be used as beautiful reclaimed flooring in residential housed.
We used a few pieces of this flooring to create this picture frame. The wood shows its age and experience: years of farmer's boots shuffling across it, machines dragged across it, sacks of feed and probably even animal marks on it.
This frame was made of part of the floor that was never painted and part of the floor that had been painted red. Both show the wear and tear of the feed and seed warehouse.
We love all these random marks and patina that simply cannot be duplicated artificially.
This frame embodies our eco philosophy. Most components are reclaimed materials. The glass is salvaged from old stock or from window sashes. Only the glaziers points biscuits and carpenter's glue are new materials. Each is coated with Minwax water based urethane.
In the scheme these crafts make a miniscule difference in the fate of the environment. However building materials comprise the largest part of landfills. Anaerobically rotting wood and other organic components contribute significantly to climate change by releasing methane as a byproduct.
