Inspiration

Although this client is known for her cobalt blue nail polish, she didn't have much of that color in her living space. In this 3rd time of working together, we decided to mix up the color palette. We found the perfect blue 6" hexagon tile for the backsplash!

The Global Scourge of Plastic

Green Design & Mindful Living

Have you seen the horrifying image of an emaciated whale that starved after eating 64 pounds of plastic debris ? Read the statistics about drinking water and seafood around the world contaminated by microplastics? Seen images of the rapidly growing massive floating island of plastic in the Pacific Ocean – now twice the size of Texas and 3 times bigger than France?

As you all know, the most sustainable action is to eliminate or reduce using plastic in the first place: replace with reusable shopping bags , stainless steel reusable straw , refillable water bottles , etc. Second best is to reuse items instead of throwing them away after a single use. Third best is to recycle items.

In the 1980s NYC Mayor Koch launched a campaign against Litter Pigs. I know you, Dear Reader, are NOT a Litter Pig. You dispose of your trash responsibly. But so many don’t and loose trash ends up in storm drains and our oceans.

Join my Pick Up Trash Brigade ! On walks around your town, bring a bag with you to scoop up trash from the parks, streets and sidewalks. It still shocks me how much trash (most of it recyclable) I pick up on every walk. It's a tiny action but I feel better doing it.
