GREEN GIFT GUIDE: Handmade Christmas Gifts
Daniel Flahiff - 2008 Holiday Gift Guide
The handmade movement is taking the country by storm. Make this holiday memorable by choosing to give something one-of-a-kind, made with skill and craftsmanship not found at the mall. And just think of the sustainable benefits: reduced carbon footprint, recycled/recyclable materials and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’re helping sustain local artisans. Strike a blow for sustainability and give handmade this season!
ECO•LABORATORY: Seattle's Exemplary Eco Community
Bridgette Steffen - Architecture
The Eco•Laboratory is an exemplary green complex designed around a vibrant community garden In Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Conceived by Weber Thompson, the project recently won the Natural Design Talent Competition at Greenbuild. The innovative design focuses upon energy systems, natural ventilation, community aspects, renewable energy, and indoor air quality, resulting in a spectacular example of what green building is about - interdisciplinary teams designing living buildings.
Give An XO Laptop and get one for yourself this year!
Jill Fehrenbacher - 2008 Holiday Gift Guide
We are huge fans of the One Laptop Per Child project and computer design, and we’ve written extensively about the OLPC laptop on Inhabitat (here, here and here). So we were thrilled to discover that the Buy-One-Give-One program that was launched last year during the holiday season is back and better than ever this year - this time in partnership with Amazon.com
