Biodiesel
by Josh Rubin
Maybe it's because of all the bullshit oil politics, or maybe it's because I just revisited my crunchy Vermont roots-- either way, I'm fascinated by Biodiesel at the moment. It is an old concept that's seeing a rebirth among socially responsible and environmentally conscious youth. My friend Nori runs her Merc on Biodiesel and taught me all about it.
What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is a domestic, non-toxic, biodegradable fuel that can be made from used cooking oil. As a society, we will use up our fossil fuels much sooner than we will transcend towards a healthy raw food diet; fried foods and waste vegetable oil are not becoming a scarcity. There is also a huge transformation that happens when you are in control of your own fuel. Being able to harness ones own energy in a sustainable manner is one of the best things we can do to support our fragile planet.

by Josh Rubin
Originally covered Mozzee for £255.
NEST® combines minimalist form with superior function. The compact shape and stable tulip base enable NEST® to be pulled right into to the table with no tripping hazards. The UV stabilised polyethylene curved seat and tray simply wipe clean. A machine washable 5-point safety harness is supplied with NEST®.
NEST® is designed and built to last. This chair fits babies and children from 6 months to 6 years. The removable tray is suitable for baby feeding. For toddlers and young children who want to join the family at meal times, NEST® easily converts to a standard table height booster chair by removing the tray. Is your child too old for a high chair? In just moments NEST® converts to NESTER - a cool low chair that will last you child to 6 years of age. Available colours are white and black.
Standard Deluxe

Byrdhouse recently visited Standard Deluxe, the Alabama based print shop that does everything the old fashioned way-- by hand. Check out his story and the pics to get acquainted with the simpler side of silk screening.
