Water Is My Favorite

The Erosion Sink- Topographical awesomeness.

Taken from 16 Modern Sink and Wash Basin Designs, There's some awesome and pretty stuff and most of them are really green friendly, requiring less water to fill, or causing us to think about our water usage, Like the ones above and below.

I really like the basic concept for this one, there's no valves or faucets, you lift up the one rock to allow the water to flow and fill up the pool, and then when finished lift up the other rock to allow the water to drain, completely conscious of how much you use. All very zen, if perhaps a little impractical, especially if all you want is a glass of water.

99 Bottles of Beer in the Wall...

Mr. Heineken wanted to help the world and the enviroment through beer.

"...the idea of turning waste into useful products came to life brilliantly in 1963 with the Heineken WOBO (world bottle). Envisioned by beer brewer Alfred Heineken and designed by Dutch architect John Habraken, the “brick that holds beer” was ahead of its ecodesign time, letting beer lovers and builders alike drink and design all in one sitting.Mr. Heineken’s idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials. The WOBO became his vision to solve both the recycling and housing challenges that he had witnessed on the islands."


I think the last image really sells it for me, I could live in that.
