One man's garbage is another man's cafe counter.
Our church owns a property in Mumbles and during school holidays we run a community cafe there. (The rest of the time it's used primarily as a base for our youth project work.) As far as possible we stock and use fairtrade, ethical and green products. The counter is made from 'found' wood with glass panels made from old bottles; the top surface was created from old plastic bags and mugs.

A brilliant bit of recycling. Nothing so ethical in our house, I have to admit, though we do buy fairtrade whenever we can. Belfast became a fairtrade city in June 2005 and is the only city to be awarded Fairtrade City status in the UK and Ireland.
Well done to Belfast! I think Wales was the first fairtrade country.
I love this post. Great that the counter could be made with found wood and so ingenious how the surface was created.
What a lovely counter! It doesn't look like it's recycled. Nice piece of work. :)
Happy weekend Liz!
