Greg Van De Hey: Sustainable Living as Art
Ten years ago, when artist Greg Van de Hey felt the creative impulse, he'd make a painting. But now, with two young kids, there just isn't enough time to make art. That's where his garden comes in. Whether it's building a rain barrel, making a grapevine trellis, or making wine, the young dad can always find a garden project that satiates his creative drive. It all plays into his belief that, no matter what we choose to do with it, we are all artists.

CJ said...I wholeheartedly agree--NOT TO MENTION that much money for MARKERS; could they be SERIOUS??? For that much, I could hire someone to hold a $1 unbrella over my child's head for a week. :-O

Elizabeth said...$ 62 for a "biodegradable" umbrella? So, does it break down after so many rain showers? Listen, I can go to the dollar store (or even walmart for that matter) and buy an umbrella and some waterproof craft paint/ markers and do the SAME thing for about $10. OR I could just buy a crappy cheap SpongeBob umbrella since chances are my kid is going to either lose or break it in a few days anyway. But, hey, I don't have money to burn.

Carol said...Sorry to hear about your math teacher but not about your softball. NO ONE is stopping you from playing softball, we just aren't paying for it at school. We're saving the money so you can get a math teacher. If you really want to play softball, get the girls and maybe even some boys together and go to the park. If you don't have a park, I bet there's either a big yard or maybe even a farmer's field where you can play. You can do that for FREE. No uniforms but hey, just wear jeans. Personally I'm sick to death of paying for you kids to play sports when half of you can't read or do math. Drop the whole P.E. thing and walk to school like your grandparents did. They weren't fat like the current bunch of kids are.

alison said...how can it be biodegradable and be a successful (not to mention expensive) umbrella? if it's biodegradable, wouldn't it be slowly breaking down or something thus leaving you with a holy umbrella?

Alison said...BIOdegradable means Degradable IN THE EARTH! BASIC knowledge of words! Anyway, People need to stop thinking that buying trash and dumping it is going to provide a sunny and safe future for our cilren. I am growing up on this planet and scared of the way our Earth is being abused by humans. I didn't think, when I was a small child, that I would grow up and learn that humans were completely careless about this planet. I grew up thinking that we LOVE this Earth, and that we take care of it. Now I see on the news, oil blasting into the ocean, killing all of the animals, soaking up the sea plants, and washing up on our land... I see mountains being blasted away to get coal to burn.. and smoke clouds filling the sky... animals starving, losing their habitats, animals treated as items to consume.. It is extremely depressing that humans have this attitude of, "I don;t care what the HELL happens to my baby when he's my age on this planet- the water and air can be contaminated as anything, all the food can be poisonous and non-nutritious, and there could be no other species living wild.. I just need to save money NOW." If we demand products to be made for us, we should demand that they break down and safely return to nature. We keep cutting and cutting away at our planet and using all it has, and every moment we are killing it more than bringing it life. Ugh. Please understand this.

Pa said...You my friend, talk out of both sides of your mouth. You preach "save the earth" but, want your car, running water, a toilet to flush, lights on in your house that's air-conditioned, and insulated from the cold. There will be accidents, like the one in the gulf. Learn from your mistakes and not let it happen again, don't request or require we do anything different. As far as the landfills are concerned. We really need some smart assed tree hugger like yourself to STFU and figure out a solution, instead of bitching about the problems. We all know there is a problem, and if was an easy fix, there wouldn't be green folks like yourself, making stupid remarks on AOL.

JUSTJANE722 said...I'M SURE SURI WILL SPORT ONE....INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY MAKING YOUR CHILD AN A-LISTER, WHY NOT TEACH HER A LESSON? DONATE THE MONEY FOR A HUNGRY CHILD....YOU CAN SURVIVE WITH A LITTLE RAIN ON YOU BUT NOT FROM STARVATION...THIS IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I'VE SEEN. GIVE YOUR KIID A CRAYON AND PAPER, HASNG IT PROUDLY ON FRIDGE...WORKED WONDERS FOR SO MANY YEARS BUT NOW THEIR ARTISTRY HAS TO BE ATOP AN UMBRELLA? WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE KID GETS BORED (AS THYEY ALWAYS DO)....BUY A PLAIN WHITE DRESS AQND HAVE THEM PERSONALIZE THAT TOO? ATLEAST THE DRESS CAN BE REUSED AS A HOUSEHOLD RAG....THE UMBRELLA????
