Reclaim, Repurpose, Reuse: The Green-er Office

Reclaimed Office

I wouldn’t qualify my office as being “green” per se, as I have plenty of cables running in it that have flammable and toxic PVC jacketing and regular paint was applied on my walls. I did however manage to reclaim quite a few things:

  • I repurposed a margarita fish bowl into a planter with eco-friendly water beads and a bamboo shoot
  • I have a pile of old copper cables that I am keeping for a future photo shoot. It will be then recycled
  • I  have a small collection of fossils on my wall
  • I reclaimed airline eye covers for the rare times I take a nap on the couch
  • I have a reclaimed warehouse light bulb sitting on my desk in a CableOragnizer mug to give me bright  ideas
  • I have a steel ruler circa 1994 from when I went to Design School
  • Some of the furniture was reused as well from our old location
  • All my trade publications are recycled, along with my Gatorade bottles
  • I use cable ties as bookmarks (does that count?)
  • I set up  some Lutron® Powr Savr™ Wireless Switches and Wireless Occupancy Sensors to save green on my electric bill

I think that if I drank soda, I would clean the cans and glue them to one of my walls as art or something.
