Your Guide To Green

Episode 7
Visiting an "Upcycling"
Stained Glass Studio

 

Hi everyone,

The notion of living green touches many aspects of our lives. In this week's video, I visit with my friend Molly Phoenix at her stained glass studio in Tucson AZ. In her art she experiments with something called upcycling which UrbanDictionary.com describes as "The practice of converting waste materials into products of greater value."

Enjoy the show...and listen to the ice cream truck passing by!

We also have a great article on recycling "useless" items into new garden tools! See This Week's Links, below.

Due to the fantastic response we received from last week's store items, we'll share them with you again this week!

Greywater Finds from Our Store...plus a great T:

Oasis Laundry Detergent (1 Gal.) is one of the best green detergents for any home and is particularly suited for greywater use, due to the lack of sodium in the ingredients.

Create an Oasis with Greywater, by Art Ludwig describes how to quickly and easily choose, build, and use a simple greywater system. Some can be completed in an afternoon for under $30.

And our unique Earth Heart Women's T, from It's Your Mother Calling, fits great and is sure to get noticed. Be sure to browse our entire IYMC Lineup.
