His company the Q Collection—which designs planet safe and people safe adult and children's furniture and textiles—just recently won TreeHugger's Best of Green Children’s Furniture award. Not an easy feat considering the large pool of other green designers in the eco-sphere. Spotlighting Jesse Johnson as this week's Change Maker simply seems too perfect.

This process "treats these materials as valuable industrial nutrients instead of disposed of as trash. This is the complement to the traditional supply chain and distribution system used to produce and deliver products to customers."

I had this big acetylene torch, and I would go around the farm, cutting up antiquated and rusted farm equipment and loading it onto a trailer. The farm was old and huge, and we'd pull a few tons of metal out of there every week. The farmer sold this metal for scrap, and he made enough money to pay me and still profit off his treasure trove of metal. I used to cut scrap metal for a farmer.
