beholder of time <br />
its beauty and flora <br />
was made to survive <br />
through years of evolution <br />
natural acts of mother earth<br />
its tough flora <br />
brightens up the sky <br />
with bundles of fragrant<br />
white, pink and purple life<br />
beloved by all <br />
who watches <br />
the perennial buds emerge <br />
blooming one petal at a time<br />

<br />
<b>Urinal Design Elements:</b><br />
<i>The design:</i> It is in a 4 pod urinal design format for privacy. <br />
<br />
<i>This urinal has two functions:</i> 1) allows men to relieve themselves 2) waters plants. <br />
<br />
<i>The urinal employs 3 processes:</i> 1) the urine and water are collected 2) both are filtered 3) the filtered water is absorbed by the plants. <br />
<br />
Thanks Mr. Eddie Gandelman for a great idea!<br />

<br />
<br />
Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Green Chemistry relies on a set of 12 principles that can be used to design or re-design molecules, materials and chemical transformations to be safer for human health and the environment. <br />

The labels on most household products read like the periodic table violently collided with a bowl of alphabet soup. What are those ingredients, and what might they do to our homes, our pets and our loved ones? A foolproof way to know what’s in your cleaning products is to make them yourself. It’s easy and economical, with the added benefit of reducing your household’s carbon footprint by creating less packaging waste and less pollution from manufacturing and shipping.<br />
