		<description><![CDATA[RUBBiSH- Recycled rubber sinks Santa Monica, California.–based architecture firm Minarc, has developed a unique and timely solution to the waste-tire dilemma that our car culture has created.  No matter how small the impact, it’s always refreshing to see problems being solved in beautiful ways like this.

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to post a quick belated note about the Timber frame presence at Greenbuild in Boston last year. It&#8217;s old news with Greenbuild Phoenix now on the horizon but still relevant.
