D. T. Max writes about the slow becoming of one of the world’s most unusual—and soon to be tallest—churches: the Sagrada Família.

A red, pink, and peach rock bluff in evening light with a pink and gold sunset-lit cloud in the sky. Dark green scrub brush and lighter green growth dot the landscape, particularly in the foreground. Deep breaths. Enjoy beautiful things.

So many of us are fortunate to be able to have the latest and greatest gadgets. What's left too often ends up in drawers or, far worse, in landfills. Great example of a better more ethical way.

What other organizations like this are out there.
