This was the final choice... my beloved Katherina!

This was really important to me.

I am SO excited about these!

Got milk?

No, and I won't. I do not mean to preach, but this post is for those who wonder about veganism.

Give orangutans a break

You are Nestle, and Greenpeace targets you for your unethical practices. What do you do?

a) Establish a dialogue with Greenpeace to see how can you improve such practices

b) Ignore it

c) Try getting the campaign banned

Well, Nestle was uncoscious enough to pick c. That's making a statement, twice: I do not intend to change, and I inted to keep it quiet. Lovely, isn't it?

Cosa Verde

Just found out about these guys! This is a brilliant showcase of eco-minded crafters and artists. (click on pics to go to their cosa verde store).

I have to make a special mention of the jeweller on top: Elizaveta. The stuff is so crazy and grand is just amazing. It's encouraging and inspiring to see that she is selling these without a problem too!

Airpod car

I'v never really felt the desir to drive. I have not really needed to, either. But this made me feel so much like driving around. So far, it's the best alternative to current cars that I've seen. What do you guys make of it?

The Story of Stuff

I know I keep on going on about shops and design, and that I'm trained as an industrial designer, but I still feel the need to pass this video on. It's a bit of a New Year resolution, keeping my head clear of what is needed and what's not. Although I'm sure that as a vegan on a small salary in a provisional flat I'm not the biggest consuming monster out there. Anyways, information is power.
