Climate Change Doodle



I love this little doodle, which is actually very clear and easy to understand. It does very well at relating all the different issues of climate change in a fun manner.

Because of its character, it does that thing that I keep harping on about - it talks about climate change without preaching.

Strangely interesting but hugely depressing stats

Source


As seen on the BBC, this page is a counts rates of ever changing world stats. It covers everything from politics, environment, population...

Understanding the effect of population on the environment makes the info a bit depressing.

It will be interesting to come back to this snapshot even in just a few hours to see the huge difference in numbers.


Volcom

Since  started this project I would say that I have noticed Volcom making the most initiatives and changes for a greener company.

The are a member of multiple green organisations and are starting a New Future programme which will effect its environmental impact and social consciousness.

I like Volcom.

You never really get to the effect of rising sea level on Europe but this little animated graphic shows the effects on all areas of the world.

The Foorprint Chronicles - Patagonia



Patagonia have been at the forefront of being green within snow sports. Although Protect Our Winters seem to be the most popular. Patagonia have created the Footprint Chronicles which allows you to track products through their production so that you can make an informed decision about buying a specific product.

Hopefully more brands will follow in their green footsteps.

P.S. I also like the little mountain range at the bottom of the screen.

Studio Sweet Studio is my new favourite blog for looking at pretty handmade things that also have the environment in mind.

Take a peek.

Melt Tag

As brilliant and sustainable this idea is I just dont take to it for some reason. How many people actually take the manufactureres recommendation and wash their new garment before they wear it? No one I know. I would have to save the ticket until I was ready to wash the top. And then, would the soap tag be strong enough to clean? Does it depend on setting? Are the chemicals used to produce the tag more environmentally-friendly than those used to create a normal label which can be recycled?

These images were created by capturing an image of a tube television as it shuts off. What a random idea, I wonder what possessed him to study this? But it was a great idea, the images are great. They have an illustrated/sci-fi/retro/textured feel that would be difficult to recreate as effectively.



Puerto Despertar CD Packaging

A new take on CD packaging with a nice method of sealing the packaging. I would like to see the CD held on a pulp backboard. This can be moulded to any shape easily and would protect the CD without use of plastic.

SLS Hotel Branding

Love this cheeky branding. Shows that a serious chain and business doesnt have to have a dry, corporate style.
