Planet-Improving Creations to Celebrate Earth Day 2009

Planet-Improving Creations to Celebrate Earth Day 2009

Earth Day 2009 wouldn’t be complete without a cluster of cutting edge green innovations that are making our planet better; this year, we focused on the incredible possibilities of recycling, specifically on the art and designs that can be made with old waste. From stir-stick chandeliers to furniture made of old toys, this cluster features the craziest recycled art!

If you haven’t already checked out our Trend Hunter TV episode to celebrate Earth Day 2009, you can see it here. Cycle through the cluster and marvel at the amazing earth-friendly art that eco-innovators are creating from other people’s garbage.

Happy Earth Day 2009!
