repurposed

Please check out this amazing recycled antique glass jewelry I discovered.  The artist reclaims antique bottles and glass  from old dumps from natural habitats and rural farmlands where she lives.  Each piece comes with "The Story of the Glass" detailing what the glass was back in history and how old!  They are remarkably unique, and beautiful.

Most baby gear and diaper bags are styled with a mom’s taste in mind, not a dad’s. After recently witnessing some new dads sheepishly carrying cutesy baby bags, I thought I’d share a selection of cool green bags with you. Every one of these is stylish and eco-friendly, made from either repurposed or recycled materials.

I am sure we’ve all seen these enormous concrete drain pipes on the side of the road, sometimes abandoned and overgrown with grass. Dasparkhotel of Austria offers stays in these repurposed tubes for the adventurous traveler.

 A unique and fascinating collection of eco friendly jewelry created from seemingly common objects. The site also showcases eco friendly art with a bizarre aesthetic. An intersting and different browse!

These bracelets are a wonderful conversation piece. Chic and funky but also make a statement about the wearer's commitment to recycling and a cleaner, healthier planet. A percentage of the proceeds of each sale are donated to environmental causes. The tabs are purchased from a non-profit org. that in turn donates all money to various charities. Each aspect of the business is looked at to meet both environmental and social responsibility goals.
