Eco House Film - Ecological House in Sweden

Located deep in a forest in Gothenburg, Sweden, the Bird Bridge crosses a rift, linking a hospital to a series of botanical gardens. Two pedestrian bridges are also intended as bird-friendly, providing secret resting places for the our avian friends.

We think the photoshopped presentation for the bridge is over the top, but even if it is just a publicity stunt, at least it is a green publicity stunt.

You do not need a fancy bridge to help your local bird population.

Bird homes, feeders, and hedges and trees for Birds to live in are an easy way to help birds in your are today.

The easiest to start with is a bird feeder made out of a box / milk or juice carton or a plastic bottle [video].
This is another bottle project fun to do with your kids
Remember to hang it up without cats nearby! House cats kill too many birds today.

One very easy thing to make is an owl box

Swedes remodel their kitchen every four years on average.

We are shocked. You certainly don’t have much going in your life if you are concerned with your kitchen that much.
We would much rather take a trip, build a sauna, or do a family vacation. And then of course, you can always have sex instead of obsessing over remodeling.

Looks like Eva Sanner, a relationship expert, agrees.
