ou won’t find any stamp that says “Made in China” on the
wooden furniture sold in Lancaster’s Tellus 360 store. What you will find is a
fascinating story about the former life of the lumber contained in the products.
Tellus’ small team of woodworkers creates furniture, kitchens, flooring and lighting from wood that was salvaged and saved from landfills.
These beautiful products contain lumber that was once pilings in the Boston Harbor,A wide range of polished tiles for your tile flooring and walls. part of a high school in Massachusetts, a tobacco factory in Virginia or a grain mill in Maryland.
Wine racks came from wood from a local house that burned, balance boards came from a mushroom plant and scraps are made into one-of-a-kind electric guitars.
Owner and visionary Joe Devoy takes old wood from construction projects and repurposes and reuses it to create new items of use and beauty.
“Tellus” was a Roman earth goddess concerned with the productivity of the earth; “360” is cycling back to a simpler way of life. Some of the recycled wood is purchased from demolition companies; some comes from Devoy’s second business, ARA Construction, which de-constructs buildings.
Tellus 360 is just one of the leaders in Lancaster that is helping to create a new city – one that is a leader in living sustainably and a rewarding place to spend a weekend getaway. Lancaster helps you feel good about being a consumer, in every sense of the word – even shopping.
Devoy continues telling me how he strives to make a difference in Lancaster and beyond. In the Glen Mill’s, Pa., Whole Foods, there is beautiful restaurant furniture that was built from a barn in the Poconos.
In a Staples store on NYC’s 5th Avenue, one of the most prominent streets in the world, there’s a wooden staircase made from repurposed wood. There are educational info plaques alongside the woodworks telling the story of the wood’s second life and the importance of recycling.
Besides handmade wooden products, Tellus 360 carries jewelry made from recycled flip flops, sneakers, skateboards, 100 percent Fair Trade goods and other items. Profits go to a foundation in Nepal for whom Tellus 360 is building a school.
Keeping in the same vein, Devoy decided to transform his 10,000-square-foot roof in the middle of downtown Lancaster and make it “green.”
With the help of a grant from the county, he transformed the unused space into a restful haven of green growing life. The 80 tons of soil was shot onto the prepared roof via a vacuum type hose out of a truck on the street. The roof collects 80 percent of the 420,000 gallons that annually rains on it, which otherwise would wash away into the bay.
An outdoor yoga studio, an organic garden, a performance space and a place for respite from the city below are all in the future plans.
Tellus 360 invites schools in for tours where they tell the repurposing wood story and educate the next generation on living sustainably. Devoy believes there is a better way to use our natural materials. Trashed wood can have new life, new hope.
The recycling leaders continue in Lancaster with Fresco Green. Rick Frescatore has a compact downtown store called Fresco Eco-Lifestyle Store where you can bring your container to the Refill Station and fill up on lotion, dishwashing liquid, soap, shampoo and other items. You can buy stylish computer bags and belts made from recycled truck inner tubes, drinking glasses cut from beer bottles and natural beauty products made by a local gal.
There’s a company making insulation out of shredded denim jeans that has the same R value as fiberglass; cork flooring made from recycled wine bottle corks; counter tops made from ground-up recycled porcelain; sheeting made from bamboo; wall surfaces made from clay with zero toxins; counter tops made from recycled glass and concrete; and natural pigment paints and stains. Incorporating these products into your building project not only graces your home with beauty, it also keeps materials out of the landfill.
Frescatore conducts workshops and tours for homeowners and professionals, as well as fields trips for students wanting to learn about recycling and the “green” movement. He even provides a training facility for designers and builders.

“He watches over us. He is why we have our good lives today,” says Khuyag, hunching his shoulders as if feeling the presence from above. He, like many locals, thinks Genghis Khan is buried on a mountain in the Khentii range—a belief shared by both ancient and contemporary historians but unsupported by science or physical evidence until the discoveries made by Lin and his Mongolian partners.
Khuyag has scaled the range twice, but he believes the conqueror’s grave should be left in peace. “I don’t think people should search for his tomb, because if it is opened, the world will end.”
At the very least, it might create geopolitical tensions as many Chinese believe Genghis Khan was Chinese, and China claims him as their own. Indeed, a huge mausoleum has been constructed in China to hold a replica of Khan’s empty coffin, and the monument is popular with the Chinese, some of whom worship him as a semidivine ancestor.We specialize in howo concrete mixer,
“If Genghis Khan’s tomb is discovered in Mongolia, it will have enormous geopolitical repercussions,” says John Man, the author of Genghis Khan: Life, Death, and Resurrection. “Many people in China believe Mongolia, like Tibet, should be part of China, as it was under Kublai Khan. If China succeeds in establishing mining rights in Mongolia and a dominance over that industry, then Genghis’s tomb might become a focal point for political ambitions, the like of which we have never seen.”
Born into tribal nobility, Genghis—or Temujin, as he was then known—lived an epic life. As a child,We mainly supply professional craftspeople with wholesale turquoise beads from china, he became an outcast after his father was murdered and his family ostracized. But Genghis survived and grew up to become a brilliant warrior and tactician who managed to unite warring tribes and conquer most of the then-known world.

His son Tushi reportedly had 40 sons, while his grandson Kublai Khan had 22. When a genetic study in 2003 showed that 16 million men carry an identical Y chromosome that originates from one man who lived about 1,000 years ago, many drew the conclusion that it must have been Genghis Khan’s DNA, though there is, of course, no actual evidence of that, since his body has never been found.
