IN YOUR SPACE

Going green is the new "black." There are many ways to recycle, reduce, reuse, regenerate. Take a hint from nature and make like a flower drawing from the environment to give back... If we don't start considering these things, they won't happen. However, when we do consider innovation and outside-the-box ideas, we propel ourselves into a new arena of possibilities.

The best eco-innovations will work with your lifestyle. For inspiration, consider The Sustainable Dance Club. A Rotterdam architecture firm and a sustainability group built a dance floor that converts energy from people dancing into power for the lights and music.

Okay, so you might not be designing a night club ... but doesn't this make you want to get into the groove? And, we can all start simply by taking cans, bottles, glass, jars, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, paper, etc., and stuffing it into the appropriate bins at the recycle centers around town.
