Introduction to the Sustainable Storage Space

Good day,

This is a space where we can share, and ultimately store, ideas; articles; links; and interesting tidbits about the age of sustainability! While it is really exciting and inspirational, the amount of information available is unmanageable. I'm hoping that this space will help us to navigate the web and collect the cool things we find.



For example, a colleague just sent me this and I want to share it too:

Colenso BBDO, a Kiwi ad agency, cleaned up the sidewalks of Auckland with the 'Beautify your City' campaign. The dull, bulky black rubbish bags were replaced with coloured bags transforming the piles of rubbish into bushy hedges and flower beds!

It may not reduce the amount of rubbish we create but it looks great and it may make us think twice about what we throw away.

Any thoughts?

Katy, did you ever order takeout in Korea? They use their typical restaurant dinnerware and cutlery. When you've finished your meal, you leave the dinnerware outside the door for them to collect later! Pretty cool.

not to be the downer in this situation but this sounds like a terrible idea! it's like the saying painting the kettle black. This diverts funds that could go towards actually fixing an issue and putting money towards putting a pretty mask on an exsisting problem. im all for beautifying the city/ town we live in but not our trash lol
