waste no more

i was in the grocery and chanced upon this:

it's called "starchware"

essentially disposable tableware made from corn and yam... yup, these:

so yes, they're biodegradable, non-toxic, etc... they won't leak out chemicals even with heat.

i shall call them on monday and see if i can use this for my biba noodles.

cool eh?

green greetings + woolly wonkas + renting rants

1.

sending you a paperless greeting from messy bessy :)

2.

+ lemme share with you my recent find: woollypockets.

american-born breathable modular planters that are made from 100% recycled materials...

so fun that you can build gardens on floors, or even walls!

i actually even emailed them to ask if we can replicate the program here...

but they said that they only go as far as exporting... so much for small carbon footprints, eh?

read more about woolly here.

i guess apartment living makes me miss the greenery...

so, shall we just make our own? ;)

3.

+ lemme share with you our latest green habit: renting movies via itunes.

think about it:

zero waste,

zero piracy,

in the comfort of your own home.

perfect!

soak up the sun

as i was looking down on the newly lit trees of the nearby mall, i got to thinking...

1. what a waste of electricity

2. but it's so happy... so why not have solar powered christmas lights since these are under the sun all day anyway...

the geek-in-me googled it... and of course, lo and behold... they exist...

and of course... if there are solar-powered christmas lights... then there must be....

while we're at it, what about bamboo bus stops?

oh the possibilities...

green ideas

i like how these cigarettes are straightforward... none of the 'surgeon general's warning blah blah...'

this one says: SMOKING KILLS

or SMOKING SERIOUSLY HARMS YOU AND OTHERS AROUND YOU

these ones say: SMOKERS DIE YOUNGER.

in hk, it's now under the law to have to PAY for plastic bags. cool huh? it's 50hk$ each, (approx 3 to 4 pesos)

this poster explains how even bags for chilled delivered items will be charged.

i think we should do that here!!!

hey i was thinking of joining the cubao ex art fair this month... its seems like a cheap and fun thing to do :) wanna make cool green stuff? maybe we can finally do our "love is sweeter the second time around" idea!
