Going the 'green' way

How far are we ready to go to reduce the carbon footprint. The "Go green" philosophy has been around for years and now is probably when we should have started seeing the results. We are still setting time lines and aiming to reach a certain figure in the next 20 years.

Its true each one of us can do it in our small little way. But the realization of it alone is obviously not enough. This is my beginning and the first step is Recycled materials.

A few points to remember:
One time creations?
We all have seen quirky one-off sculptures made from recycled materials but it is a decent bet that most designers don’t think about the possibilities of creating lines of recycled furniture. With so many materials going to waste in droves it seems a shame not to think big about how to give these a new life. While many of these are still mostly conceptual a lot of them have potential beyond being whimsical one-time creations.
