Paint Can Flower Pot & The Wilds Things Costume
Today I got two d.i.y. projects for you chums.
First up, I’m all about promoting house plants and green thumbs (even though my current house plant is near death) and Design*Sponge had a cool idea for reusing your paint cans as customizable flower pots.

Recently on Good & Evil With Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart has been making positive headlines during the past year with their proposed “sustainability index” so today I thought I’d pull together some media and see what people are saying. Honestly, I think I feel like the same way Hansel and Gretel felt before they walked into the gingerbread house.

Old Door New Table At Design*Sponge

Every time I go to Small Bar I’m always poking at their door tables (formerly a door, now a table). Today I was looking through old archives of Design*Sponge’s Before And After and found a good version of the same idea.
National Geographic’s Green Buying Guide
National Geographic Green Buying Guide | Ecofiend
I was hunting Arctic pictures for my post earlier this week at the National Geographic website when I discovered their Green Guide. It’s actually really nice: easy to navigate, information is clearly and simply communicated, very clean design. If you’ve ever been to Treehugger you can appreciate good information hierarchy. Don’t get me wrong, they have great content but I hate being on that site. Anyway, I definitely recommend looking into the Green Guide’s buying section; like the rest of the site it’s simple to follow and cuts through all the greenwash.
