This time it’s about the recycled magazines shoes. I like the concept, althoug I doubt it’s the next big step to a 100% sustainable shoe.

12 insane reasons why WC football 2022 goes to Quatar

Last week the Fifa announced the 2 country’s that will host the World Cup football in 2018 and 2022. Surrounded with controversy Russia and Quatar came out as winners. I’m sure the promise of Russia of an enormous profit for the Fifa helped the decision for 2018.

We, as the Netherlands also entered the bidding but didn’t make it. I guess we’re not as willing as the winners to let the Fifa take over the country and change the laws for 4 weeks and we weren’t as good for the Fifa wallet.

“What we need is design that makes us dream”

This is a quote of Lonneke Gordijn at the TEDxAmsterdam event today (30th of november). She’s the (co)founder, together with Ralph Nauta, of Design Drift, a design company that has practicing vision of creating design that reacts to and questions human behavior.

Redefine carbon footprint

DDB China Group took over a busy pedestrian crossing and placed a large canvas featuring a leafless tree on the road. On either side of the crossing were sponge cushions soaked in green environmentally-friendly washable and quick dry paint.
As pedestrians walked towards the crossing they stepped on the sponges and the soles of their feet made footprints on the tree. Each green footprint added to the canvas like leaves growing on a bare tree. By walking they could create a greener environment.

Nice way of re-language carbon footprint to green footprint ;-)
