Is recycling your old cell phone helpful for reducing non-biodegradable waste on this planet? Watch Wall-E for a glimpse of where our world is heading at our rate of consumerism with non-biodegradable products.
Imagine beautiful lush green areas of this world replaced with old computer monitors, cell phones, iPods, cameras, and other plastic trash. It TERRORIZES me to think we're heading this way but it's true. In the past 4 centuries we've started creating non renewable items of energy on this planet. Slowly we are turning our planet into a non livable place.
It's difficult to change behaviours but with structure we can help play a small part which is huge when combined with actions of others!

Live more but smaller
Have you heard of Nano Living Systems? If they really achieve what they claim, well it's gonna be good thing for the world. Here is an excerpt from their front page.
At Bridge Development we are aware of the unprecedented massive collision between civilization and the Earth. As a result we have created the Nano Living System (N.L.S.) to help resolve problems regarding space efficiency.
By creating the Nano Living System we reduce CO2 emissions by simply decreasing the size of the living space. However, in order to have the least amount of environmental impact we do much more than just reduce the size of a living space. We create efficient, intelligent, hybrid small living areas with flexible spaces that require lower amounts of energy to operate, therefore using fewer natural resources.
Since the first generation of baby boomers the population has skyrocketed and crossed the six billion mark. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be over nine billion people on the planet. That is a 70% increase in less than half a century. This is a clear example that space efficiency is one of the biggest priorities for the world.
The Nano Living System technology offers a solution to the inhabitants of our world, while working to resolve three fundamental problems:
1. The ever decreasing amount of sufficient living space in high density urban areas
2. The need for a solution to cope with continuing density growth
3. The need to create more efficient living quarters that have flexible spaces and are intelligently designed
And the website for your own browsing pleasure:

Do you really think anyone would live in a place like this? Is this home for the affluent or the middle class. Definitely for the working professional or young couple in mind. Will be difficult for a family to be raised in here. And the bed... such a chore to keep raising it and lowering it!?!

"I Heart Trees" Tote Bags from Zazzle.com
This is a 'green' bag I've created. It's funny because it plays on the I <3 NY campaign but if you read carefully, it's "I (tree) heart". Get it?

Vancouver to be the Greenest city in the world by 2020
Here is the next big project for Vancouver! I like 'thumbs up'. I totally want to be involved.
