In the modern world, where resources are becoming scant at a rapid pace, recycling and energy conservation are no longer an attempt of a few to try and protect an ailing planet. It falls upon each and everyone to make sure that they do their little part in making sure we conserve what precious little we still have, if not reclaim all that we have lost in the past century. Modern designers are doing the best they can to encourage people to take up recycling and energy conservation with their inspirational pieces that amalgamate art and engineering.
It is this blend of function and form along with some spectacular and delightful lighting that takes shape as these “green chandeliers.” From recycled plastic to LED brilliance, these 10 chandeliers tell you how green living can be cool, stylish and sometimes better than the conventional way.

While there are many other ways of going green like using solar energy and wind power, these green chandeliers are probably the most appealing way of entering the green domain.
