Art or artifice? Designer Nolan Herbut’s Wolfgang Keyboard Bench is quite a concept.

The undulating bench consists of a Baltic Birch frame covered with 2,000 computer keyboard keys. The keys actually click when pressed, presumably by one’s derriere.

Italian designer, Sara Bergando, creates these whimsical wall clocks from upcycled old frying pans. Sara uses traditional decoupage to adorn each recycled pan with graphic stickers she designs herself – thus creating an eye-catching graphic clock while saving another scratched-up non-stick pan from the landfill. Sara sells the clocks at her Etsy Shop for around $40 each.

Doing my bit for the planet and my waistline.

In my personal quest to follow a more eco conscious path, I’m always trying new things. My latest endeavor focuses on improving my health and reducing my carbon footprint by transitioning to a different way of eating. I’ve always tried to eat what I’d consider to be a “healthy diet” (as little junk food & sugar as possible, organic + locavore choices up and down the food chain, meatless Mondays) … I even tried to follow a raw food diet for a short while, but that wasn’t my cup of tea.

I recently read Eat Right for Your (Blood) Type, and subsequently confirmed that my blood type is A. According to the book, I have what I’m going to call, natural, vegetarian leanings. So just for the fun of Earth Day (the entire month of April), I’m going to take this a little further and arrange meals around my new approach to eating –  Blood Type A meets vegan.

With no dairy, fish and meat on my plate, this more sustainable approach will have less of an impact on the planet, and hopefully more of a positive impact on my body. Who knows, maybe it’ll become second nature, an ongoing way for life:) As always, feel free to jump in …
