I have been configuring a store front on etsy.com that will focus on using recycled or up-cycled materials in a effort to keep anything I can re-use out of landfills.
I am initially using old computer parts to make clocks which I have already been doing for friends and family for years. I am also researching and building a product line of items to make from discarded, untreated pine pallets. You would not believe how many of these just get thrown away rather than re-used or recycled!!! I'll seal some wood projects with a non-toxic stain and my sister-in-law has agreed to make some perty with paint.

I will also use this blog to post my personal ventures into "going green". Our family has switched to CFLs and we try and do little things to be more environmentally conscious.
Some bigger projects I'd like to do include rain barrels and a solar powered attic fan for those crazy hot summer days around here ugh!
