Resource Revival - Recycled Gifts and Stuff
By James Grahame
Sooner or later you're going to be forced to give someone a respectable gift as a housewarming present. Rather than aimlessly wandering the aisles of your local IKEA, I suggest something from Resource Revival.
Graham Bergh sums up the concept quite succinctly: "Our mission is to create innovative products from recycled materials, to provide meaningful, living wage jobs, and to have fun. We envision a sustainable future where commerce flourishes in a world powered by renewable energy, and where consumers are conscious of the origin of the products they buy."
Their site is full of stuff made from used bicycle chains, rims, and cogs, along with several brilliant clock designs fashioned from recycled chain-rings and rubber. Definitely a better gift than a mass produced vase.
