Glass Beach is a protected beach, but not for its natural beauty. Located just outside of Fort Bragg, California it became an illegal dumping ground for residents in the late nineteenth century who lacked any kind of refuse pickup. It wasn’t until 1967 that the illegal dump was finally closed by city leaders and the local water board. The beach was cleaned of large refuse, but small pieces of glass and plastic that had been worn down by the elements remain, giving the beach its name and its unusual beauty.

illusionofsafety:

Russia’s second largest city just passed an outrageous law to make it ILLEGAL to… read, write or say “gay.”

“Lawmakers in Russia just passed a draconian censorship law that would impose stiff fines for anything construed as “the promotion of homosexuality” in Saint Petersburg, Russia’s second largest city. Reading, writing, speaking or reporting on anything related to gay, lesbian bi or trans (LGBT) people would become a criminal act. This ban on “promotion” would also target Pride parades, literature, theater, or NGOs that openly serve LGBT people.”

fyeahuniverse: NASA inspired plant wheel When NASA needed a way to grow plants in space, they came up with a wheel as such. This design was adapted by DesignLibero to come up with this very sleek, modern garden. The wheel holds over 8 feet of plants, which is surprising due to its size. The entire garden is a powersaver as only one small light is necessary, whereas two larger ones maybe needed for a garden of the same size on a flat bed. (Images by DesignLibero)
