Photo via CGI I’d been meaning to write about this statement, made by Christiana Figueres, the new UN Climate Chief, since she made it a couple days ago, at a panel I attended at this year’s Clinton Global Initiative. What she’s talking about, of course, is the persistent hope among many for a binding international treaty that can be agreed upon by all parties and nations — that which never materialized at Copenhagen, and for which the meeting was labeled a colossal failure.

Images: Think Contemporary Surely you’ve gotten the urge at least once — passing by an anonymous pile of discarded furniture pieces curbside, you feel a compulsion to rescue some forlorn credenza from landfill purgatory and to make it something ‘new’ and beautiful again. Dublin-based interior design company Think Contemporary seems to have heeded the call, launching a line of upcycled furniture that appears to have found its own unique voice….

Do you have any information on the comparison between resources used for dish-washing vs. paper production? This question has been asked by many people in many different forms.
