Cute Animal Bulletin Boards Deliver a Serious Reminder by Leonora Oppenheim.
Nobody likes being beaten about the head with the eco-stick. As many of us have experienced, railing against friends and family about the state of the planet rarely produces favourable results, or in fact any result at all. That's why TreeHugger is a fan of the beautiful, engaging and well designed message - we find these are the ones that get through. It's no surprise then that TreeHugger's very own Petz Scholtus has created a series of products which ticks all these boxes perfectly. [...]

Affected: Endangered Species Bulletin Boards. Save the planet, decorate, and organize in one fell swoop with new eco-chic cork boards by Leonora Oppenheim.
Barcelona-based studio Pöko Design' new bulletin boards do double duty—as both a place to pin up notes or bits of inspiration and as an important reminder in the form of a creative design in and of itself. The cute series of animal cork boards adds a sober touch by depicting the diverse range of species directly under threat from climate change. [...]

A Denser Shade of Green; a couple in Barcelona raise a glass to the 3Rs with their new kitchen cabinets by Andrew Wagner, photos by Marc Goodwin
[...] Scholtus gamely dubbed their new home the “R3 Project”--for reduce, reuse, and recycle, plus some extras, respect and restore. Carratala mixed his engineering skills and his love of minimalism with, as Scholtus says, “my vision of what a good home should be--sustainable, fun, and practical. [....] After three years of tests and trials, their urban green laboratory has become a home--one so effortlessly comfortable that it is at times difficult to remember that the whole place is essentially a recycling center. But in the end, that’s really the point.

Probably the most well known sustainable designer in Barcelona is Petz Scholtus. Originally from Luxembourg, she is the owner of Pöko Design and creator of curiously named eco-products like Corkutis and the Stuffbump. She is also a pioneer for eco-home reform and recently completed green renovations on her Gothic neighborhood apartment. The transformation was documented on her R3Project blog and featured in the New York Times. Her project began, not on a whim, but to put her eco-living ideals to the test. [...]

Carbon Neutral on a Shoestring by Penelope Green
[...] On a dark, raw February morning, Ms. Scholtus’s apartment was bright, if not exactly toasty, from the fluorescent bulbs tucked into her handmade Bidon lamps. The English translation of bidón is jerry can or container; Ms. Scholtus found a few on the street and fitted them with compact fluorescent bulbs and PVC-free wiring. One was hanging over a door frame; another sat on a rug like a small pet. [...]
