So, seriously, have you guys checked out Sprig yet? I'll admit my crush on the super cool green style site has now officially evolved from an at-a-distance crush to a full-on love affair...my first article for Sprig appears on the site today!
It's Friday and time for happy thoughts! With so much of the media focusing (rightfully) on how bad things are getting for the environment, it's nice to take a moment to think also of all the good strides we're taking to set things right. Head on over to Sprig and check out my piece on the top good news for the environment!
(Then pat yourself on the back and keep up the good work by walking, not driving, to your Friday happy hour establishment of choice.)
By George, the blokes across the pond have really done it! The just-opened Club Surya in London has a dance floor (pictured above) that harnesses the movements of club-goers to generate energy to power the club! Plus, if you arrive by foot, bike, or public transpo, you get in for free...and they serve organic drinks in biodegradable cups (why not reusable cups, I wonder? Too much crazy dancing makes them wary of glass?).
When I first read about these indoor/outdoor swings over at housemartin, I was blown away. Not only are they made from recycled metal, but the designs manage to be both whimsical and modern, playful and elegant.
They're made by the UK design team Fletcher & Myburgh. I bet the solid metal swings like the ones above and below would look amazing next to pool or pond where the water would reflect beautifully on them.
