As I continue to geek out about shipping containers, came across an article about Starbucks building a store out of shipping containers. Reason? The spokesperson stated: “Starbucks was attracted to the idea of re-using the containers that transport its tea and coffee from abroad, and also liked the portability of the construction.”
Although this is not a new concept, as some of my previous posts have shown, it does show that more high-visible companies are getting into the trend. Green building is green building, and I highly encourage new and reused ideas!

Very cool. I followed the link to the story, then some others from there. Seems that people say this isn’t a new idea, but it’s the first I’ve heard of it. Too bad I’m a DnD fan.
