Trash To Treasure

A friend alerted me to superforest.org, a site with a wealth of interest, good intention, healing attitude, and utility. Very much in the spirit of what we are trying to do here, but with an enviable professionalism too. Please visit it.

Among the recent posts, an item on a 12 year old inventor, Max Wallack, and his "Home Dome."
















Max seems to understand the idea that he could be living in a Depression. He is the 2008 winner of the Trash to Treasure competition, sponsored by Intel and featured on "Design Squad," a PBS kids show on design/build on WGBH.

Trash to treasure is a powerful tool, in the right hands. Mr. Obama - give this gentleman a job. Infrastructure czar? Emergency housing authority? Wallack's budget was literally peanuts: packing peanuts.

Thank you for listening, ma'am.
