I believe this is a video for music from Amon Tobin but I’m not 100% sure. I found it whilst exploring deoxy.org which has a ridiculous amount of fodder for consumptive thought.

I came across Ecovative Design by way of an interesting Scientific American article about Staying Cool with Greensulate. I’m not sure if it was their wordsmithed name or their frank pitch, but something in their vision definitely resonates with me:

We believe you can achieve sustainability without sacrificing performance or affordability. That’s why we are replacing fundamentally unsustainable plastic and synthetic products with natural composites—products that perform just as well as the current state of the art, at a lower cost to both you and the environment.

I recently watched a powerful documentary – Addicted To Plastic – which was a strong reminder how important it is that companies measure their impact on the environment at the same level as their passion for profits. Without it, we won’t be around to enjoy all that this world has to offer.
