Been to Anthro lately?

Thanks to my fantastic gal Michelle for sharing this email with me!

According to Anthropologie, "Fifty billion plastic bottles were consumed in the U.S. alone last year - 38 billion of which ended up in landfills. Science tells us that these bottles will not biodegrade until the next millennium."

Well that just stinks!

So what does Anthro do? Repurpose them to make some spectactular chandeliers!
Check it...

I have seen this before and it truly amazing. It reminds me of a Dale Chihuly art glass display. Anthro always comes up with the neatest ideas. Kathysue

Wow, this is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. So beautifully green.

I used to work for Anthro. I loved every minute of it.

I see how she is making the flowers, but don't see how it is a chandelier. Beautiful either way though!

WOW! I think Allie might show this to one of her classes-they've been discussing recycling. Incredible!

These flowers are so neat! I would love to do a ton and decorate our garage walls with them! What a neat way to reuse & reduse.
