Bottle Village in Los Angeles:
Grandma Prisbey's Bottle Village is a protected landmark with structures built out of recycled bottles. It is an impressive expression of transforming discarded items and sorrow into something more. Bottle Village -- so it says on its website - is not only a one of a kind, quirky, fun, village but is a brilliant approach to recycling and shed making. Bottle Village is also a bold and personal statement to the importance of the creative act in everyday life.
Portrait: Dr. David Blekham -- Professor at California State University:

A cool green invention: The Sporting Sail
While looking for fireworks in their grandfather's attic, Nick and Billy Smith stumbled upon a strange piece of fabric. They learned that this "ski clipper" was used by their grandfather as a mini parachute, helping him slow down on steep ski slopes. As dedicated snowboarders themselves, Nick and Billy figured that what grandpa used for skiing was perfect for their own sport. So they began experimenting with the kite-like device . They perfected it, called it sporting sail, and patented it. Watch the story.
