The R3 Project is a blog documenting how a couple of guys in Barcelona are renovating a flat "based on the 5 Rs of eco design:" recycle, reduce, reuse, recover and respect. Includes a well-illustrated post on how to do an eco-move and another good set of reminders on how to reuse what you already have. The most recent entry, Disposing of Debris for Recycling, notes something interesting about garbage disposal in Barcelona: when you buy the garbage bag, you also pay for the pickup as part of the fee. Brilliant - love it. [GT]
