The Twin Touch is quite rugged, belying its pristine appearance. The steel body and lid defy rusting and chipping, which is a practical concern if you spend the majority of your time around refuse. The larger capacity and unique pop-up lid are pleasant back-saving additions.

Farming Cuba: Nelson, a Cuban Farmer This rooftop grower employs permaculture techniques to support 40 guinea pigs, 6 chickens, two turkeys, and over a hundred rabbits on a 68m2 rooftop.

“Who better than the farmer and the farmer's family to know how most effectively and easily to find efficiency?” says architect Alan Barlis. Regional architecture inspired the barn-life structure of the house, an open volume that aides in efficient heating and cooling of the space.

What do you wish was easier to make and source in the USA? I would love to see more U.S.-made fabrics and textiles. With the loss of 650 textile mills in the USA between 1997 and 2009, it has been difficult for our makers to find skilled weavers and leather workers. Hopefully over time we can add more mills, as is being done in the South now, and rebuild the artisan skill set. Mesa Pendleton Wool Pillow, $60.

What everyday item would you like to see made domestically? Having more electronic manufacturing in the USA would make it easier for startups to prototype, make rapid adjustments to the product, and scale up quickly. Some of this has started to happen with reshoring from Asia due to the rising transportation costs and overseas labor costs, as well as the need for more flexible manufacturing. Bringing back a single product like the iPhone would bring a significant number of jobs back to the U.S. and help reestablish the working middle class in America. Pendleton Wool and Leather Tote, $225.
