The Reclaim – Samsung and service partner Sprint’s newest green phone – has innovative features that go beyond the bare bones that similar products like Motorola’s W233 Renew phone offers. This eco-conscious smart-phone is 80 percent recyclable and made mostly of corn-based bio-plastics, but that’s not all this compact phone has up its green sleeves.

One of the largest problems plaguing sustainable development today is the tendency to use the cheapest, most readily available land. More often than not, this results in the degradation of green space and uncontrollable sprawl. In a recent interview on Archinect, Julie Bargmann talks about dedicating her practice to doing something different: her D.I.R.T. (“Dump It Right There”) studio regularly takes on industrial sites, abandoned rail yards, or otherwise “undesirable” locations for development. Rather than advocating the superficial beautification of these places, she instead incorporates elements of the sites’ histories into her projects, layering them with cultural and ecological significance.
