Because living sustainably is a necessity. As Buckminster Fuller believed, “humanity now has the historically unprecedented option to produce a high standard of living for all people on an ecologically sustainable basis.” 

ReCombinant Design shows that current extraction practices, energy consuming processing, and other environmental stresses are not always necessary to create more “new” things. Instead, society’s consumer jetsam, combined with imagination and a few simple, cheap tools, can be turned into new, attractive, functional items — rather than going to the landfill.

A fraction of the cost and much more fun, ReCombinant Design is my alternative and antidote to resource depletion, unthinking consumerism, and domination by mega corporations. Re-combining thrown-away parts into a new functional item reduces the waste stream, stimulates creative thinking, raises possibilities, and by example teaches resource conservation in a fun and aesthetically pleasing way.

Through ReCombinant Design each of us can be what Buckminster Fuller called a “trim-tab” — a tiny but significant influence on the direction of society.
