DIY Wind Power

From www.treehugger.com:

The last time we heard the name Ben Jandrell, he was wiring solar cordless headphones in our DIY Eco-Tech contest. Well, Ben is back with a great resource for DIY TreeHuggers – his site gotwind.org. Here, you can find pictures, descriptions, instructions and even videos for DIY wind generators and other “small scale renewable energy.” Gotwind.org is in its infancy, so unfortunately there are only a handful of projects available, but we are hoping with continued success, Ben will be able to expand the site’s contents and provide more detailed step-by-step processes. However, if you have the technical prowess and an interest in small scale wind power, this is certainly a good way to get started. ::Gotwind.org

Mebel Furniture: Lublin Pivot Table

From www.inhabitat.com:

One good way to move toward sustainable living is to own less stuff. That’s why we’re excited about Mebel Furniture’s clever multi-purpose Lublin Pivot Table. This two-piece table swivels on an axis to offer multiple configurations. It’s a combined coffee table and low work surface, complete with a hidden drawer and cubbyhole to stash your things.

Mebel is a partnership between brothers-in-law, Jacek Ostoya, a trained architect, and Peter Brayshaw, a woodworker and artist. The pair combine a passion for clean modern lines with superior craftsmanship in natural wood. We love the durability and beauty of their solid wood construction and the fact that all of Mebel’s pieces use sustainably harvested lumber, but it does cost a pretty penny. The Lublin Pivot Table sells for $2,995.00, and is available online through 2Modern. Additional retailers are listed on the Mebel Furniture website.
