A friend found this amazing work of art on a foreign website. It's hard to believe that this entire 3 bedroom unit is built inside a shoe box, with all recycled material from used fabric to newspaper and magazine ads.  I'd like to share the following with all of you, either you love dollhouse, or crafts work, or care about the planet. Please read on to see a lot of close ups. Enjoy!

Entrance and hallway. The purple cardboard created the shoe shelf and coat area.

Hallway carpet is wrapping paper scraps.

Living room.

Again, the flat panel is an ad on newspaper. 

This miniature plant is from a used silk flower. The planter? A toothpaste cap wrapped by a chocolate paper cup!

 

 Glass without bottom. Why? That's a straw tip.

 

Water dispenser, hehe. Water container is an eye drop bottle. How about stools? Tiolet paper wrapped by winkled color tissue.

Starting business can be an exciting thing, especially when surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs. In the business park that caters to our business, we have neighbors in wireless, computer parts, toys company and machine shops. Each business is different and along the line, produces different kinds of waste or shall I say, treasure? Many business practices the Japanese shop management of "5S" or Toyota's JIT. These continuous improvement methods are boosting worker efficiency and cutting down cycle time all along. Besides the management gain of these methods on shop floor, they also call for a swift judgement of material deposition, a judgment that sometimes produces a lot of waste. Just take a look of your neighborhood recycle dumpster, here is a shot from one in bayside. 

Luckily businesses in California have a free service called "The California Material Exchange" or "CALMAX". (CALMAX) is a free service provided by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). The program's goal is to help businesses, industry, residents, and others locate markets for usable materials that would otherwise be discarded. According to the CIWMB, "the concept behind CALMAX is simple: materials discarded by one business can be a resource for another business". In another word, Calmax works the way much like Craigslist, where businesses publish want and available ad, except for the ad only for recyclable materials.Their slogan says it all: CalMAX...a simple idea. "One business's trash is another business's treasure." Businesses, schools, and nonprofits can utilize CalMAX to search for available and wanted materials.

If your business like to start a recycle program, Calmax would be your first step to publish surplus or need information. One area that does need some attention since Calmax is a state-wide system, so be more geo-targetting as possible. You don't want to end up picking from places 50 miles away and spend money on gas. To put this in perspective, leave contact number, what you need (need specifics) or have, best time to call, and business location in your ads. Add a side note as to what you will do to these reusable materials can certainly help donors decide the fit.

In a small business environment, email is absolutely the single most important thing of communicating with customers. So at the early stage of our IT infrastructure build-out, a reliable and also versatile email server is on everybody's top list. Our missionary search ended back then with an enterprise email solution that does exactly what we want it to do and even more. But we also ended up with two servers, one with a little more green foot print and the other, a power hog.

The setup of email server would require a hierarchy that closely mimic a large corporate setting which in turn require multiple server buildup to avoid conflict and achieve redundancy. The email server provided a web-based access page that everyone can use to check their email, be it at home or out to travel. To keep the server running so we can receive email 24/7, a separate UPS is also added to the duo and our email backed up tens of time in a day to prevent loss. With each server running single power supply, it's comsumption of electricity reached 300Watts/day. This setup worked very well in-house and everyone didn't seem to mind the noise and the bill. 

In 2004, Google announced the Gmail amid a flurry of rumors. Its powerful search function and mail capacity of gigs attract attentions, and this time from small businesses. What Gmail does for the small business is not unprecendent. Many webhosts before Gmail also offered some sorts of free web email system that were all so cumbersome to read and archive. Besides, even using the email client like Outlook via pop3 will worsen many problems if the mails were read from different access points. Often times, multiple mails are stored inside the Outlook or important emails deleted because of a different client setting. 

With IMAP and its upper hand in search, the emergence of Gmail has embarked a whole new territory for small business to offload their mail server onto Google's cloud computing, not only save time and money but conserving energy. Imagine the server that its sole task is to receive email is no longer needed and keeping email running and well backed up are pushed to Google, small business could efficiently manage their business using emails as the tool.

With its latest release of Google Apps, small business can even create their very own email identity complete with email boxes and alias like info, service etc. And can even use it to manage multiple email boxes that are not in the domain of gmail.
