architecture in Derby as a whole, so we can be more green?

Of course, all it takes is to be more responsible, using only recyclable materials for joinery and woodwork, and for the interior of your home too. If you are looking to source furniture for your home, make sure you know what you’re buying. Is the wood from a sustainable forest? Is it possible to recycle it once it’s done with? If you really want to make the most of being Eco-friendly, make sure you buy locally, as shipping furniture from overseas is not only costly, but it’s also bad for the environment. But of course you don’t always have to buy new furniture, you can use scrap pieces of wood, whether that be from previous furniture you’ve had, or from vintage shops, and you can use the most basic joinery skills to create unique designs in furniture that have no negative effect on the environment.

Many new buildings that are being built are taking into account the effects on the atmosphere, and many companies are now taking necessary steps to ensure that the materials they use are responsibly sourced. There are many great examples of good design in both joinery and architecture that can encompass both contemporary design and sustainability. For example this Café made of locally sourced logs http://inhabitat.com/kengo-kumas-jenga-like-cafe-kureon-is-made-from-stacks-of-locally-sourced-logs/ is a great example of creating unique design out of locally sourced materials that are kind to the Earth.

Perhaps if you are a single occupant wanting a simple life, and can easily entertain yourself.  But the best part about them is that they have no major impact on the environment like our modern houses do, and they make the most of the wood we have available already, enabling some unique joinery skills to flourish.
