BendiNewsTest: Lampada are lampshades made out of used coffee filters

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Lampada are lampshades made out of used coffee filters

Have you ever seen lampshades made out of recycled coffee filters? Yes, used coffee filters! As a former journalist and now a stay-at-home-mom Vilma Farrell is the artisan behind Lampada. She handcrafts lampshades with recycled coffee filters. By going to coffee shops and collecting the used filters, Farrell handcrafts these unusual and one-of-a-kind shades, turning what usually goes to the garbage into a beautiful piece of art!
