The Glass is Always Greener
That pun is in honor of my desirable buddy Lou - a prodigious creator of scary puns. Lou's graduate thesis in landscape structure focused on an island in Boston Harbor that were a landfill for the better part of a century. Back in the ones days, human beings wantonly discarded everything and recycling become not a commonly used word but. Today, people take greater responsibility for the effect they've at the environment. I did a little digging (puns once more) to find out what people are doing nowadays to lessen the quantity of trash headed for the landfill. Specifically, I wanted to know what substances are to be had for residential layout that use recycled glass.
The first organisation whose product lines caught my eye is Hakatai. They specialize best in glass tile, have a few recycled glass alternatives, a serious clearance choice, and some first-rate photos. Honestly even though, now not the greenest organization I located but I can't withstand this bamboo mosaic destined for someone's swimming pool.
Bedrock Industries in Seattle makes Blazestone Tiles out of one hundred% recycled glass with out a pigment added. They produce some stunning colorations but I am certainly fond of this again splash that seems like it changed into made sincerely with the bottoms of beer and wine bottles. 
Two Portland OR companies I found produce one-of-a-kind varieties of recycled glass merchandise. The first corporation, Second Glass, recycles automotive windshield into glass for doors, windows, and bathe enclosures. I love the spiderweb pattern of damaged safety glass, and I suppose their products would look extremely good as cabinet doors or for a privateness glass option in a lavatory window. Someone please assist them with their photography although - the pictures on their internet site have bad lighting and weird angles. 
The first-rate choice of glass tile that I came throughout was from Stardust Glass. Their website has a huge variety of sizes and shapes for tile and a splendid palette of colors to choose from. I like a number of the shade schemes discovered in their gallery of images. I mainly like the combination of colours in the round tile below. Take time to explore their website online for yourself to get more close up snap shots of their work.
Now if we will simply do away with the teapot collection.... 
The business enterprise that makes this warmth touchy tile is Moving Color. Unique tile, despite the fact that I am not certain it's far some thing I might need in my residence. Seeing its unusual residences pressured me to include it right here. If you would love to understand more, there are plenty of stunning time-lapse photographs at their internet site or additionally you can read all about it here at www.Inventables.Com. I definitely found out their product carries recycled glass from the info at inventables.Com in place of their homepage, which makes me wonder how true it's miles for the environment to soften down a bunch of moodrings to make tile besides.
Well, it is tremendous that Paul's again, and I am excited to listen greater approximately the ride. I might be posting once more approximately this adventure thru recycled glass products - however I am going to technique it from a nearby attitude. Until then....Take care and watch out the witch moth!
