Prolonging a products life--if it still goes to the dump--is not a net gain. Further more, an emphasis on "different containers" encourages consumption and, thus, waste. In addition, the chosen material (plastic of some sort) <em>may</em> also pose dangers to the environment in its manufacturing proses and in its ultimate disposal. It does look nice (in the right context), but if it's not better for the environment don't claim it is to jump on the green design ban wagon. P.S. Call me old school, but I thought a vase was a container. I don’t think it is actually better for the environment. Prolonging a products life–if it still goes to the dump–is not a net gain.
