I like.

Sky Planters – pretty and practical too. Especially if you were a loft dweller. I’ve always harboured a hankering for a life in New York with exposed brick and large windows and unhung art. Now I add some Sky Planters to this vision.

From a culture of me, to a culture of we

The RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) are basically a bunch of clever clogs using their big brains to sort out our problems in the 21st century. Thank goodness for that eh?

Each year, they invite film makers to animate some of their talks in the RSA film competition, and the top five have been selected to vote on. Go have a look at them all. This one in particular though resonated with me.

Not that actual event of The Big Shwop works online in any big way at all, but I do see shwopping as part of the new movement of collaborative consumption, from a culture of me to a culture of we. Its exciting to think that we are in the nascent stages of  a tide turn toward a way of operating that is big and wonderful and long-lasting ( and don’t you just love the word nascent? Its beautiful.)

This video is awesome too. It brings to live some of the global food issues through moving broccoli and a half eaten apple. Clever indeed.
