It had to be mentioned – I live in Denmark, and I am also very interested in sustainable design! In relation to that I must obviously be somewhat concerned about the climate changes we hear about every day. So I cannot not mention COP15. For those who might not know; COP15 is United Nations Climate Change Conference, and this year Denmark has the pleasure of hosting the conference. I am interested in climate, and I think it is worrying to hear what impact the consumer culture has on the world we live in.
When all that is said and done, I think that most of this has the resemblance of mass hysteria! So when I think of the climate, and what I can do to help from day to day I think about consumerism – I think about using, reusing and recycling. It doesn’t take up all my time, and I am not 100% green… it’s a work in progress!
There is however many, many green opportunities out there – and I believe that every little bit helps. So I have found a couple of things to help make your conscience a little greener:
The bamboo bowls and the palmleaf plates are from Ecoloco, and the shopping bag is from Envirosax. The palmleaf dinnerware can be used as an alternative to disposable plates, as it is 100% biodegradable, and can be trown directly on the compost after use. Or it can even be cleaned and used again and again – as a added bonus, it looks so much better than the classic white cardboard or plastic dinnerware!
