100% Design London - Part.05 - The Bone Project 2008-10-07 14:38:05 According to their website site, 3 million tonnes of bones are incinerated every year in Europe. If this is true, then it makes perfect sense that what The Bone Project
doing is sustainable and green.The Bone Project is created by Andrew Ross, aiming to create a form of local production that would be beneficial to both the environment and the economy. Andrew found out that a large amount of bones
100% Design London - Part.05 - MOLO 2008-10-05 07:53:41 This is the sale booth of Molo in 100% Design London, a product design company most famous for its flexible paper furniture.

My doubts are all cleared after I saw the real thing in 100% Design London.I have to say I absolutely love these paper furnit
The Most Amazing Green Temple 2008-11-05 10:13:10 I was simply speechless when I saw this on Green
Upgrader. This has got to be the coolest temple I have ever seen in my life. And arguably one of the best way to recycle used bottles.This temple is built with more than a million used bottles, and were collected one by one by these respectable monks in Thailand's Sisaket province. "Green" is definitely the first and loudest word come to mind. Howeve Read more:Amazing

e-Reader 2008-10-30 20:44:24 e-Paper or e-Reader
are red hot nowadays. The manufacturers are doing hardcore promotion on them and you can always find one in Waterstones. Actually, we have already got something with similar function to the e-Reader, for example the Palm and some mobile with wireless connection. So, why do we need e-Reader? In my personal point of view, I don't like reading documents or news from a Palm because
Useful Information for Biofuel 2008-10-29 05:57:06 I found a very useful table on the internet comparing different biofuels. The table listed all the major biofuel and compare them according to their amount of greenhouse gas emission, use of resources during production and land occupation relative to demand. It also provides the pros and cons of the particular biofuel. I believe this table should be reasonably reliable as the information comes fro Read more:Useful
Quiet Revolution 2008-10-25 18:04:37 Quiet Revolution, just by looking at the name, you can probably guess a little bit what that is. Quiet Revolution (QR) is a relatively new vertical wind turbine system developed by UK based company Quiet Revolution Ltd. As you may know, the future power supply of the world will definitely (because conventional fuel will be used up soon, that's a fact!) be dominated by renewable energy source such Read more:Quiet
Involuntary Sustainability 2008-10-25 07:20:02 Nowadays green and sustainable is everywhere. The green cult is so hot that it diffuses into every area every product, even in products that you don't normally pay attention to. For example, sugar!!I know you can't see the words clearly, so this is what it says on the package:"The sugar beet comes only a short distance to us, directly from the fields of local farmers, and is then made into our ran Read more:Sustainability
Bamgoo = Bamboo + Car + Go Go Go?! 2008-11-28 11:07:44 Happened to come across this cute little eco-friendly car called Bamgoo. It is designed by the Kyoto University, Japan. This is an electrical and light-weight one-seater, capable to travel 30 miles between charge. Bamboo
is a fast growing yet strong plant and it is considered as a magical sustainable material. However, due to safety concern they have never been used in vehicle parts. However, if y
The Yellow Page Treehouse Restaurant 2008-11-23 18:05:50 I hate Yellow
Page. It is completely useless to me. It wastes vast amount of timber and costs hectares and hectares of forest.But now, perhaps trying to redeem all their sins and guilt, Yellow Page is doing something green and great. This stunning tree-house restaurant is located in New Zealand, and is a part of the marketing effort by Yellow Page. Designed by the Pacific Environments Architects,
A Letter From Seal to Human 2008-11-22 06:01:52 There has been an email circulating around for sometimes, about baby seal killing in Canada and Norway. Such cruelty is intolerable and it is my obligation to reveal this to as many people as I can. I hope this is not happening anymore, but if it is, curse these people. Oh no, they are not even human being, their little souls are not large enough to bear any conscience.So this is the letter.Noorwa Read more:Letter
Michael A. Salter 2008-11-13 10:53:33 This guys is simply AMAZING. And he has taken sustainable design and installation to another level. If you are kidults like me, addicted to Matrix, Star Wars, Gundam, street art, graphics, Frank Miller etc etc I don't have to explain to you why this is cool. If you are not into these kind of things, I can give you a reason to love this guy: Green. Rather than using tonnes and tonnes of metals to c Read more:Michael
