I produce this event and it is a great way to get the green word out to the mainstream guests of the bay area. No, it is not SF, but we are right here across the bay, looking for green action and change. In fact, the theme is Earth Day 2007: Get Your Green Groove ON and it is on April 15th. Thanks!

Loads of people (and dogs ...) were all over the couches - lounging and playing. In fact, at each couch there was a person with a Polaroid camera to take pictures of people on the couches, pictures that could then be slipped into a recycled cardboard frame printed with instructions on how to build your own! Thousands were taken - which means thousands of people sat on the couches. Hey Shambhavi,

What did you use for a base? Then it appears you put sod on top that will obviously need watered. I'm interested in building some--in an area that gets dry in summer and a fair amount of snow in winter.--Sharon Breay, A.S.I.D., Deer Creek Canyon, Colorado I’m interested in the sofa’s construction.

No problem. I envision these in parks and other recreation areas where you are probably dirty and sweaty anyway from plaing a pick-up game of soccer or frisbee. Appropriate for dressy people in the city? No, probably not. Pleasing to the eye? Yes. Makes you smile? Yes. Grass stains? No problem.

Unless these babies come with biodegradable, plastic slip covers, they aren't much more than a charmingly silly idea. Anybody ever hear of GRASS STAINS?
