Alt Build - Santa Monica

If you are in the Southern California area this weekend cruise on over to the Santa Monica Civic Center and check out Alt Build 2009.

We'll be there to support one of our partners in eco-motivation, Vernare both Friday and Saturday displaying some of the cool pieces in the 2009 collection such as the Maku Lounge Chair, Maku Dining Table, and Maku Chaise. You'll also be able to get a sneak peek at a few new pieces as part of a new collection we are working on!

Alt Build is the premier show for eco friendly building and state of the art design materials. It's free to attend and there are a lot of great speakers and seminars to attend.

GoGreen Man!

So check out this rad 12 year old grom that is wise beyond his years. Jonathan Lee is a wrecking crew of Eco Friendly passion and resource that is looking to knock out Dr.Pollution!

Jonathan's projects range from trying to reduce waste that Fast food restaurants generate to a really cool project called One Chile, One Tree, One Year.

Keep up the good work Jonathan!!

Sorry for the problems today, it looks like Media Temple was able to get the Maku Website back up and running!

Houston we have a problem

Technical difficulties with the Maku website and email right now, our service provider media temple is working to get everything restored and I'll post up again when the site is up and running...

Greensburg Kansas - the Greening of Middle America

2 years ago today the little town of Greensburg Kansas was devastated and totally destroyed by tornadoes. Virtually every building in the town was leveled. Those that weren't leveled sustained some serious damage...





The next thing that happened is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! The towns goverment decided this was the perfect opportunity to build the countries first green town. A showcase for eco friendly and sustainable building. Very cool indeed! From a wind farm to Silo Eco building, and even a TV show on Planet Green, Greensburg and it's fine citizens are truly eco heroes!

Kudos and congratulations to each and every member of Greensburg Kansas, I'm for sure stopping by and throwing out high fives the next time I happen to be in Kansas. And if anybody in Greensburg Kansas wants some Maku pcs for their outdoor space just let us know and we'll hook you up!
