As the salon winds down, eco-chic loft-designer Matt Gagnon walks us through his process for reusing demolition materials in order to reinvent space. Initially tasked with using newly purchased eco-materials, Gagnon calculated that there would be no way to offset the waste generated from the renovation job, so he chose to build a sculptural landfill inside the loft. 80% of potential waste was diverted by using reclaimed sheetrock to construct storage units and other items were given away or free-cycled on Craiglist. Features hostess and HauteGREEN producer Kimberly Oliver, THTV’s Simran Sethi as well as Inhabitat.com’s Jill Ferenbacher who takes us to Matt’s creative roots using recycled paper for furniture.

This week on TreeHuggerTV we are back in the supermarket shopping with nutriton expert Marion Nestle. You may have caught a previous THTV episode when Marion was helping us to buy green milk. This week we're in the fruit and veg aisle and Marion is lamenting the fact that lack of labelling means we can't tell where the apples come from. This is especially frustrating when they are out of season because we can't tell how far round the world they've travelled. Come help us carry the shopping basket and learn more about the pros and cons of selecting organic fruit and vegetables in the supermarket.

This week on TreehuggerTV, we are bringing you an example of an entry into the Convenient Truths Contest. This short film was made by the Weather Channel initiative One Degree and demonstrates teh effectiveness of communities getting together to watch viewings of An Inconvenient Truth. In October last year, in 4000 churches across the US half a million people showed up to watch the educational film about global warming. The mass screenings were organized by Interfaith Power and Light in a nation wide effort to get people of all faiths to engage with environmental issues. It is wonderful to see in this short film how people are clearly moved an dmotvated after watching An Inconvenient Truth. They all want to do something proactive to help. If you want to do something to encourage people to act, then please send in entries in to the Convenient Truths video contest. Its not long until February 28th deadline so get filming with whatever comes to hand, a camcorder, a digital camera, or even your mobile phone. We look forward to seeing your suggestions for convenient solutions to Global Warming. Go to www.truths.treehugger.com for more details and updates.

Are you tired and don’t want to get up off the couch, but really wish you had a persimmon to munch on? Don’t worry L.O.V.E. has you covered. The Los Angeles Organic Vegetable Express is a service that brings fruits and vegetables of your choice, right to your doorstep. All their boxes and delivery frequencies are completely customizable. You just tell ‘em what you want, and they’ll drop it off. Organic made easy! If pesticides are gonna get in your body, chances are there they’ll get there through the fruits and vegetables that you eat. So going organic just makes sense. But, as with all things worth caring about, the solutions are complicated, like eating organic vs. local. There is even a university or two that offer degrees in organic farming. One thing is for certain though, any of these alternatives would be better than biting into that juicy genetically modified apple you get at your average supermarket. Mmmm… it’s like you can taste the gene splicing.
