Sometimes the Dumpster You're Diving Into Really Is a Pool

I absolutely LOVE to go dumpster diving...

I've just never dove into a dumpster that was actually a swimming pool!

This is what it's all about right here folks. Reclaiming a dilapidated urban space and transforming in into a hub for people to meet, mingle, eat, and enjoy each other's company...and all through the reuse of construction dumpsters.

Brilliant.

The creative minds of Macro|Sea are the ones behind this project and you can find their urban makeshift country club in an undisclosed location somewhere in Brooklyn.

Free and Easy Ideas to Build a Reclaimed Trellis

Vining plants are some of the cheapest and easiest ways to add some beauty and interest to any outdoor space.

...but what do you grow them on?

Lots of trellises you can buy at big box stores are ridiculously expensive and really not all that interesting either.

What you CAN do is find some discarded junk that can be salvaged and reused as a trellis on which to grow beautiful flowering vines.

A piece of chain link fencing, like the one pictured, fits the bill PERFECTLY!

THE Greenest Hotel in Atlanta: The Sheraton Downtown

Looking for one of the greenest hotels in Atlanta? Well look no further!

One hotel kept recurring in my search for the greenest hotel in Atlanta to stay at while covering the Go Green Expo this past weekend.

The Sheraton Downtown Atlanta.

It is far and above all of the rest and is, without a doubt, one of the greenest (if not THE greenest) hotel in downtown Atlanta.

Daniel Senden, Director of Sales and Marketing, for the Sheraton Downtown Atlanta was nice enough to take time out of his busy schedule to do a quick interview with me that highlights some of the greenest features of the Sheraton's recent $70 million re-invention project.

Check out the interview and catch the details below it...
