You should listen to this episode: "Upcycling"! It's fascinating.
Have you heard of The Story of Stuff? I guess 15 million people have watched this video already and it has been out for a few years, but I'd never heard of it until I listened to Annie speak on the aforementioned podcast.
After listening to the podcast and then watching the video, I actually prefer the podcast. Her part of the show is at the beginning -maybe about 15 minutes or so. Very informative without being overly political.
Did you know a lot of our recycleable materials actually just get shipped to other 2/3rds world countries? And then they have to put the materials in landfills there? WEIRD! How did I not know that? Sometimes I am just so ignorant.
I am curious to read this book. I feel like I really need to be more responsible in my consumption!
Now - to a totally new topic, I have a strange obsession with blow-up yard art.
My mom and I discovered this amazing turkey outside the main office of her new condo complex....precious.
Two turkeys!
