Check out how the women in Shaanxi created their abundance from human and animal waste collected.
In seeking for a solution to stop erosion by cutting down trees for fuel, the Shaanxi Mothers won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006 for their efforts.
Not keen about using your excreta to create fuel? How about using food waste? Here is how a homemade anaerobic digesters look like.
Like that? Then let LordVaader show you what components you need and how to assemble them to make your own.
The art of recycling for a greener environment starts with seeing trash as "abandoned material" so that we can create "Abundance from the Abandoned" in "Amazing Ways".

Threadless gone green
Check out what 13 participants of “Threadless Loves Green” design challenge have created in celebration of Earth Day.
My favourite is this design by Steven Lefcourt which represents the birth of earth with the presence of water and vegetation making our planet unique.
If you purchase any of these tees from 20 to 27, April, Threadless will donate $1 to the Plant a Billion Trees Charity.

Recycle Ike Contest Winners
Remember the Recycle Ike Contest I wrote about last October? Here are the winners and their proposals on how to make use of green debris created by Hurricane Ike:
First Place
Team Biochar from Rice University
Bill Hockaday, Jeremy Caves, Caroline Masiello, Kyriacos Zygourakis, Richard Johnson, John Gaunt, Michael Keller
Biochar
Second Place
Samuel Weaver
Bioreactor Sandpits
Third Place
Ian Ragsdale
Houston Farm Corps
Following are other uses for green debris by other contestant:
1) Charcoal Industrial Filters
2) Free Mulch
3) Municipal Composting
4) BRIKES
5) Wood Pellets
6) Wood Fuel for Coal Plant
7) Urban Farming
8) Building Blocks
If I can add to this list, it would be sculptures of wildlife on logs to commemorate the lost of wildlife in this natural disaster.
If you would like to visualise what it would be like, check out the chainsaw carvings of artist, Randall D Boni, on his website, Abundance Acres.
I discovered him through an email I received of his creations. He has discovered his abundance from the abandoned since 1989.
And from the UK, there is another chainsaw sculptor, Simon O'Rourke. Check out photos of his creations posted on slideshare.
Think you can learn to do the same? Then check out Chainsaw Sculptors for tools you need and their links to free step by step tutorials.
