Our consumption of water, shipped from the land, is so painfully ironic because we are depleting their fresh water supply. Thanks for going back to the tap!Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-81515732560833361442010-11-14T11:31:56.657-05:002010-11-14T11:31:56.657-05:00I'm w/ Paul.

The article mentions that her design for a health club in Woburn, Mass., features a curvilinear, translucent partition wall made of Voss glass water bottles. Whittaker's firm is www.mergearchitects.com; under "commercial," click on Healthy Fit for pictures of the glass wall. Harvard Mag claims the bottles "embody the club's mission of health and fitness." I'm not sure I agree, but I do find that part of the bottle wall's interest is in the multiple messages it conveys.Susan Carrhttp://www.psqh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-26204880340358969242010-11-13T05:27:34.678-05:002010-11-13T05:27:34.678-05:00Wait, these bottles arrived during the Democratic ...Wait, these bottles arrived during the Democratic control of Congress!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-70318447408556676112010-11-13T01:43:08.224-05:002010-11-13T01:43:08.224-05:00I don't think it's obsessive at all, given...I don't think it's obsessive at all, given the importance of this scarce resource and the absurd energy expenditure. The Republican resurgence means such concerns will once again fade off the radar screen.<br /> <br />People, characteristically shortsightedly, fail to realize that the rapid evolution (in geological time) of a physical environment incompatible with human survival is our penultimate global concern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
