That's why we're going to Declare Peace On Earth from Okinawa on the International Day of Peace, September 21st 2009. Please join us: Ad… Continue

Buying second-hand, thrift, antique, and otherwise used furniture is a great way to go green in your home. By picking up something that's new to you, but doesn't require any more new materials to be used, is one of the best ways to green your home's interior (and, perhaps with the exception of some antiques, it's a lot cheaper, too!). But, while you can't alway… Continue
