so my friend steph, the dumpster diving queen, has put together this fabulous little website all about making stuff (stuff you can USE, and stuff for FUN) out of GARBAGE. i mean... sure, it's kinda yucky that she dumpster dives (see her blog for some of the yuckiest stories)...
i especially love the projects section - gotta make some of those notepades and notebooks with my piles of scrap paper (read: paper hand-outs from marketing lectures.. zzzz...)
one thing i found in common with all the eco-designers (and other eco-geeks ♥ ) i've met, is that all of them are happy to share their knowledge, ideas, and resources - knowing that we are all working independently towards a common goal. could this be gemeinschaft? ^_^
a week of classes at BCIT was gone by and already i have learned a lot about small business start-up, and feeling more confident about my business idea. (also had the pleasure of spending a part of my mornings observing the baby geese along the salmon run on campus...)
