Hi, my name is Doug.  I've been gardening in one form or another for as long as I can remember. Somewhere along the way I also started becoming very aware of how much we humans throw away every day. This led me to start doing things in a more conscientious manner, in order  to avoid as much waste as possible, and to find new uses for things that many people throw away as trash. I find it very satisfying to turn discards into art or some other form of treasure. 

Three of my passions are gardening, recycling and art.  Since you're reading this page, I assume you share some of these passions.

One of the most important times for me was when I created my first compost pile, where I could see first hand my organic garden waste changing into nutrient rich soil to nourish my plants.  It was like magic.

The environment and its preservation  has been very important to me for decades, creating an urge in me to recycle everything possible, both at home and at work. My goal here is to motivate as many of you as possible to begin or to increase your recycling efforts. 

The time has come for all of us to pitch in and do as much as possible to preserve this planet earth that we all share. Your help will be greatly appreciated by everyone, especially future generations. Be sure to check out some of my articles below.      Thank you.   

PS: I hope you'll always ask yourself and others... what have you done today to make the world a better place?
