A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism
Reduce, reuse, recycle urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, cradle to grave manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, waste equals food is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as biological nutrients that safely re-enter the environment or as technical nutrients that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being downcycled into low-grade uses (as most recyclables now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.Binding Type: Paperback

A great little bag that has RFID protection.
Color: Black
I really like this bag. I wanted a bag that had the RFID protection for credit cards, and this one does. I put my car keys in the front pouch with them, and I couldn't unlock my car because the signal was blocked. I moved the keys to the bigger pouch, and they worked fine. I can also fit a small change purse in the front pouch. In the second pouch, I can fit 2 glass cases, for sunglasses and a regular pair, my phone, keys, checkbook, small bottle of hand sanitizer and a small pack of tissues. I only keep my daughter's spare apartment key in the back zipper compartment, but you could probably put something small/flat in there. It is very comfortable to wear, and the ring to lock the zippers works well. Worth the price.

The cutest earrings I've seen in a while.
Color: 07.Jul, Color: 07.Jul
We were so happy to get these beautiful and cute silver stud butterfly earrings. The colored CZ let us customize the color to personal preference, which let us pick the perfect option. I really like the silver setting. It is quite well done, and looks far more premium and higher quality than the low price would lead you to believe.
One thing I really like about these earrings is the size. These ended up being the perfect size, and made for a very cute look. I honestly think these might become the new daily-wear earrings. They look fantastic.
Included are the earrings, a pouch, and two styles of backing. Both backing options were very easy to use, and held the earrings securely. The stud was of good quality, and plated in silver along the whole stud. It is difficult to tell for sure, but this seems like the plating was well done. I think these should hold up well over time.
The studs are a little on the long side, but no discomfort was had wearing them. Honestly, I thought it made it easier to put them on. Though, they might not be a good one to wear sleeping or something.
It is easy to recommend these super cute earrings. They will be worn frequently, come in a variety of colors, and are well made. I am very happy with them.
