Hi Ana, I'm new to your blog and this is my first post so hopefully I'm replying correctly! Thanks for a great post. Since reading your blog about a month ago and being inspired to build I have looked at all the furniture in my house in a new light. I was about to throw out an old plywood desk and drawers. I've now recycled them and am going to use the plywood in some of your projects.

I'm in Australia and hope we follow the path of the States and start producing formaldehyde free plywood soon.

I don't have a green build tip yet but since it's Earth Day I do have an organic gardening tip and it uses recycled egg shells. Sprinkle crushed egg shells around your veggie plants. It keeps the snails off (they don't like crawling over sharp shells) and fertilizes the garden at the same time.

Cheers,
Michelle
