Sometimes we get so caught up in exciting new sustainable homes designed in Japan and Scandanavia, for example, that we forget to honor the original masters of organic architecture. Take Mickey Muennig , who designed this gorgeous glass domed “Greenhouse” in California in 1976. One year older than this writer, the tiny home features a round floor plan favored by our ancestors , a simple, rustic material palette, and a view of Partington Ridge and the Pacific ocean that we would die for.

New Study Shows Christmas Trees Suck Up Super Potent Greenhouse Gas

Christmas tree photo from Shutterstock Researchers at  Lund University and Stockholm University in Sweden recently discovered that spruces, pines, and firs are exceptionally adept at absorbing methane , a greenhouse gas that’s about 25 times more harmful as carbon dioxide.

If accurate, the study makes yet another case for protecting existing forests , planting more spruce, pines, and firs, and not cutting them down for use as Christmas trees !
