Since 1999 Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang have been collecting plastic debris from one beach in Northern California. Each piece of plastic Richard and Judith pick up comes back to their studio, where it gets cleaned, categorized and stored before being used for their art. The couple makes sculptures, prints, jewelry and installations with the plastic they find washing up, raising a deeper concern with the problem of plastic pollution in our seas.

Appreciate-it.com is a wonderful website where people from all walks of life post random things that they appreciate. This website is an excellent way to get some perspective on bad days and realize that there is plenty to be thankful for in your life.

Fair Warning... This website can be addictive!

Thank you Faust for having this wonderful idea and executing it so well!

Have you ever wondered where stuff comes from? What I am referring to is the production of consumable goods. What is involved in the extraction, manufacturing, selling and disposing of “stuff”? Well, this insightful video by Annie Leonard does a great job of explaining the whole process and while there are some arguments about the accuracy of her information I still believe the message is important to share. I am proud that designers are becoming more aware of these issues and trying their best to design sustainable goods to avoid the “cradle to grave” process.
