'New' Prince Charles waxes eco-friendly - Yahoo! News

'New' Prince Charles waxes eco-friendly - Yahoo! News: "To create its first 'green' figure, workers recycled wax from a 1989 figure of the Prince of Wales and updated it with 82 pounds of organic beeswax, 55 pounds of clay and fiberglass. Artists used organic pigments to color the skin.
Sculptors worked only with their hands and in daylight to cut down on electricity usage. Workers rode bicycles to attend planning meetings during the four-month project.
The remaining carbon the process generated was to be offset by the planting of three trees in Cornwall."
