We're here at Eco House, designing the gorgeous Dwell On Design Showhouse. We're starting with 400 square feet, and I'm going to fill it with beautiful materials that are reclaimed and eco-friendly, sustainable, renewable, beautiful. This is my favorite toilet because it's one step beyond the dual flush toilet. It does have dual flush technology. It's got a half flush and a full flush. It's going to fill the tank, and that's going to give you a great water flush, so you're using way less clean water. Well, we're really excited to be working with "Eco Fabulous" on the showhouse at Dwell, and we have a few things up our sleeve, primarily we were asked to bring vegetative walls, and so as you can see, we've got some walls prepared and growing here in the greenhouse ready to ship down there for the conference. Basically, what this is is it is a lightweight biodegradable, foam material. It's synthetic but you can put it in the compost when you're done. It's nontoxic. So, we take these blank modules, which can actually come in any size or shape. They are cut with computer technology, so this could be a circle or fit around a window or whatever. You can see that it's got a drainage board on the bottom, and it's got a rack system for hanging it on the wall, and that allows us to take just one panel in or out at a time if for any reason there's an issue with vegetation or something like that. This is a young vegetative wall that we have in the nursery here growing. As you can see, it's only partially filled in. Over the next eight weeks or so, we expect this to completely fill in. We expect some of these ferns to grow out a little more, and that type of thing. So really, we're just kind of doing some odds and ends to spice up the showhouse, as well as the "Eco Fabulous" area, and very happy to be included and looking forward to working with the rest of the team to make some interesting things happen there. Hi, I'm Cory, eDrop-Off. These are some of the items that we will be sending on behalf of eBay this week to furnish the closet for the Eco Dwell event. Some of the items include a Roberto Framen linen-embroidered Summer dress, a Zara Woman tweed jacket. We've got a Chloe flounce top, a retro floral button-down. Even over here, we've got some accessories we're sending, a Gucci tote, some great shoes including D-Squared, Christian Louboutin, Balenciaga and some other great accessories, some silk scarves, Oscar de la Renta evening dress. Since 2004, we have recycled over 185,000 pounds of designer goods. People don't realize that by recycling Chanel, that you're saving as much energy that you do from a flight to London to Paris, so by pulling these items out of our consignor's closets and offering them on eBay, you're reducing the footprint of what you're purchasing. I'm ready to roll. I'm heading down to L.A., hopefully in time to meet the reclaim space people, and I know they've been working really, really hard on the house, putting it together, and we've been working really hard over here trying to make sure that we have all the finishes together and that everything is prepared. So, hopefully it will come together beautifully. There will definitely be some drama. There always is, but hopefully we'll get this put together and make it something that everybody is really excited to see, and that we're really proud to show.
