Save the Earth!

DIY'ers are often both eco-conscious and crafty in re-purposing with a purpose.  Check out this trailer, Handmade Nation, a documentary film touring the U.S. and abroad at the moment, if you're up for a little nostalgia in connecting with your environment on Earth Day.



A friend of mine once laminated French newspapers over an old wooden side table with great results. 

I worked on a documentary film short last year for Live Earth on DIY biodiesel.  Don't try that at home, kids.



If you're a little less motivated, peruse fashion designer Mary Ping's wares from her line, Slow and Steady Wins the Race, in which she incorporates eco-friendly materials.  Or get a plant!
