Build a Rainwater Collection System. Reposted with permission from Instructables.

I recently helped my father install a 275 gallon rainwater collection system. The system is based on an industrial 275 gallon container known as an IBC. You can buy them used, or if you really look around, you can even find them for free. One problem with typical rain-barrels is that they can only collect 55 gallons. This rain storage container collects five times that volume, while not taking up all that much more space than a single rain barrel. In my area, you can buy used IBCs through Craigslist for about $85 each.

Instead of buying them, I found a local bottler who throws them out because they are plastic containers without the metal cages. After washing the container out well, it is ready to be repurposed for rainwater collection. Just another WordPress site. Nigerians Are Building Fireproof, Bulletproof, And Eco-Friendly Homes With Plastic Bottles And Mud. These colorful homes are bulletproof, fireproof, and can withstand earthquakes.

They also maintain a comfortable temperature, produce zero carbon emissions, and are powered by solar and methane gas from recycled waste. Plastic is everywhere. In fact, the environment is so riddled with it, researchers predict that 99% of all birds on this planet will have plastic in their gut by the year 2050. It is not enough to persuade people to use less, plastic needs to be repurposed and reused to be kept out of landfills. Despite informative infographics, emotional statistics, and recycling programs, many nations – especially the United States – continue to toss plastics into landfills without much care. This unfortunate reality has spurred many to get creative with the discarded byproducts of society. As phys.org reports, the housing crisis has become so bad in Nigeria, nearly 16 million units are required to address the shortage. Credit: Andreas Froese/ECOTEC H/T:

Dining — Center for Craft & Applied Arts. Dining at the CCAA will make a connection for visitors The careful sourcing and preparation of food which has entered our cultural awareness is the same practice that craftspeople engage in when making their work.

Today, we’re excited to share the finalists of the 2015 Detroit Knight Arts Challenge - 70 ideas culled from 1,000-plus submissions from neighborhoods across Detroit. The list below is packed with exciting ideas from the city’s cultural community, and a few trends. This year, we saw projects focused on capturing and preserving Detroit’s historical and artistic legacy, reclaiming spaces for local artists to create new work and exchange ideas, and to release made-in Detroit musical recordings that celebrate the cities unique sound – from 70s gospel music reissues to Bengali songbooks. We will announce the winners on Oct. 27, once the finalists’ detailed proposals are reviewed by a panel of local artists and arts advocates. Thanks to everyone who submitted an idea, and we look forward to celebrating with the winners in the fall.

Ecovillage at Ithaca. “The [5 day] program was an excellent balance between the physical environmental aspects and the social and community dynamics.

It worked very well. Being able to sit in on the “World Café” was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it.
