  • via Re-Pack Yet another way to recycle packaging. It might not be biodegradable or super-compressible but it is re-using the same box twice. Simple. I’m looking forward to seeing a few flagship companies take on an initiative like this and set the standard for shipping. *Cough* Amazon.  Smallprint: “Recycling existing packaging is a way to produce and pollute less. The more you recycle, the less you have”. Edit: idroolinmysleep said: Amazon has actually just started a pilot program to ship stuff in reusable packaging. is.gd/gGH1a6 Awesome! Thanks for pointing this out.

  • ahotsecond: “Berry+ is a 95% berry-based, 100% plant-based laundry soap. Unlike conventional detergents that come in a heavy plastic jugs, Berry+ comes in a tiny microdose (2ml – a little less than half a teaspoon) capsule. Each microdose has enough concentrated soap to clean up to 30lbs of laundry (or any size load in between). The outer packaging is 80% non-GMO, plant-based bio-resin clam shell. The product represents a a disruptive design innovation in the laundry space. Berry+ works any way you do laundry (HE machines, front-loaders, top-loaders, or in the sink) and is cold water-formulated. The packaging is so light that it takes 3.67x fewer trucks to transport Berry+ than leading detergents that come in a jug. The Moderns, a multidisciplinary branding agency and design think tank based in Manhattan, developed the packaging, branding, and go-to-market strategy for Berry+.” (via) This seems too good to be true! But, you can find it here. Anyone have experience using this product?

  • “The Future - Moving forward there are a lot of things that I want to see change and improve. Most of all I want to see us all using less paper — it is a violent medium that gives you some of the most painful cuts a grown man can experience.”

    The Brooks Review

    Paper cuts are downright ferocious. 
    Oh, and there might be a few other less serious reasons for using less paper… ;)

  • via Food Map Design Easily wheel your herbs in for the cold season. If you’re like me and you’re not ready to drop $200 on a pretty tub on wheels … or already have a potted garden started, consider building yourself a ‘crate-on-wheels’ type of mobile garden (maybe like this, this, or this). Be sure to consider the door your bringing it in through or it’ll just be cool way of re-arranging your garden.By the way, if you’ve been waiting for the time to start an herb garden, start planning now. The end of winter is good time to growing the plants in small containers indoors and move them outside when things warm up.
