I’m completely blown away by the “Green” suggestions of how to live more sustainably. The funny thing is people have been doing this all along. But they used to be that weird guy down the street in your neighborhood who you thought was going to be the unabomber or the next mug shot in the “metro” section of your local newspaper.
Now, they’re getting thousands of “hits” as they’re propelled to be innovator for mankind. I would bet though if you ask any of these folks who made these things they would have said. Oh I just did it for fun.
Tribute to the Tinkerers’ of the World. You’re getting your reward for just your being you.
