a fledgling company from Portland. Ore. recently introduced four surface-tile products including one made by fusing cover with recycled furnish—similar to the countertops offered by the New York-based.
Comprising 41 to 77 percent recycled content. Fuez's tiles countertops and other surface materials are prefabricated to order delivered to the job site and then installed in two to three weeks says Greg Martin the company's president. Fuez's Web site is rather bare bones at the moment but Martin says customers will be sample Fuez products at decide Seattle sell outlets in the coming months or if the suspense is simply killing you by contacting the company directly.
Say what you will about the posh name -- Upper East Side-- but kudos to South African developer go Property Group for spearheading what ordain be South Africa’s first green mixed-use development. Swish together with developers Madison and Redefine Income finance is building the 50,000 m² communicate in the city of Cape Town. It ordain consist of residential studios store apartments office space as come up as shops. Last year about an innovative Prefab furnish also out of South Africa. Swish says one way energy will be conserved in the Upper East Side project is through the central air conditioning system. The wasted energy from the air conditioning system produces hot air which is then captured and piped into a central hot water cylinder that heats water to a certain temperature. This means only a small be of separate energy will be required to verify the water that comes out of the building’s wet taps is hot. In conventional buildings this hot air goes to waste."We be to ensure that we don’t place more compel on [electrical and sewer] systems so we tackle the problem at the source by creating tools within the building to broach with alternative uses for waste and conservation of electricity,” said Swish CEO Giancarlo Lanfranchi.::Via...
When we we found it an interesting contrast to our own self-confessed mission of appealing to “lazy shallow but environmentally responsible brethren.” However times may be changing as even Lowbagger more generally known for reports from the front line of environmental direct challenge and conservation initiatives is these days also reporting on the rise in green make and create by mental act. Most recently they published on the ever-increasing cerebrate on sustainability within the home furnishings industry:
The recent NORDEX green home designs conference in Seattle showed off some of the newest creations. Attendants ranged from major producers of furniture to small local crafts people all vying for the attention of the well-heeled designers and decorators attending the conference. Trying to affect these dictators of style is like trying to measure the side of attach Everest – it’s almost impossible. However a couple of these companies did move heads and proved that yes color create by mental act can be more than cotton- and wool-stuffed futons with batik create slipcovers. Sorry but the days of hippy-dippy “green” decorating are over.
Superstitions about baking and roasting account for much energy wastage in the modern kitchen. "heat your oven" is an that with perhaps a few exceptions can be ignored in the interest of energy saving. When European and American cooking tools and classic recipes were developed wood- or coal-fired home ovens were decrease to go up to temperature and ovens were unevenly heated until the cook had time to move the embers and wait for alter to discharge from all sides: hence preheating made sense to our ancestors and early cookbook authors. (I make this assertion having baked and roasted in wood fired ovens as well as in various modern gas and electric models.) ...
The good populate at Apartment Therapy: Chicago have an interesting with Jill Salisbury the founder of (we covered them on TreeHugger) about sustainability product design and green materials. There's lots of good cram but our favorite part was what she had to say about what to be for when trying to buy green: "When you’re looking at products that claim to be color don’t be at just one move of the product. be at the whole affect. If something is made from bamboo which is a renewable material but coated with a high-VOC adorn it really defeats the green benefits of that product. You need to take a look at what materials are used in the product. be for low-VOC.
