♻️ Desk with 10,000 Recycled Chopsticks
A German engineer named Felix Böock came up with an idea for used chopsticks 5 years ago. This idea popped up when he and his girlfriend were having dinner at a sushi restaurant in Vancouver, Canada. Most chopsticks are made of Bamboo, a fast-growing that is very strong. In the last 60 years, wood needed increased by 60 percent in the world. Bamboo has often been considered an alternative to wood. So, he built a business called ChopValue and he provided recycling bins to restaurants and promised that he would come back to fetch the used chopsticks. He and his employees collected 330,000 chopsticks from the restaurants every week. His company build shelves, desks, wall panels, stairs, and more. For a desk to be built, he needs about 10,000 chopsticks. The design is beautiful. Maybe, one day I will buy one of their products for my home.

💕One man turned nursing home design on its head when he created this stunning facility
Jean Makesh, who is a CEO of Lantern assisted living facilities. He met folks with stories that helped inspired him to create a comfortable zone at the Lantern. He built three nursing homes into 1940s paradise to help residents with Dementia or Alzheimer. Some elderly people do forget what they do every day and still think that they need to do something every day, but it is not there anymore, so he made their lives a little easier. Their nursing homes look great!

This statue is known as Cheetle. “Cheetos fans have always known that the delicious, cheesy dust on their fingertips is an unmistakably delicious part of the Cheetos experience, but now it officially has a name: Cheetle,” Lisa Allie, the Senior Marketing Director for PepsiCo Foods Canada, said in a statement. I would love to see this statue. It looks cool.
