Or making new out of old in general. Art, clothes, furniture, LEFTOVERS… Almost everything.Jamie Furniss: “The World’s Best Recyclers Are Not Environmentalists.”
Interesting TEDx talk about “waste as commodity.”
Earlier TED/TEDx talks we’ve highlighted:
- Jessi Arrington on thrift-store shopping
- Dianna Cohen on the ocean plastic gyre.
- Arvind Gupta on making toys from everyday trash
- Kathy Hinde on a highly creative reuse for an old piano
- Suzanne Lee on the possibility that we could grow our own clothes
- Graham Hill on having less stuff
- Dan Phillips on creative houses from reclaimed stuff
- Charles Moore on plastic waste
- & finally, not a talk, but we highlighted an installation created from decommissioned shipping containers at TED 2012
Sometimes I think to myself, “do I really want to buy another chocolate bar?”
And then I remember that there is a super volcano under Yellowstone that is 40,000 years overdue and when it erupts it could potentially cover most if north America in ash and create a volcanic winter that kills half the worlds population
And I’m like, fuck yeah I want that chocolate bar

I want one of these so bad to sort all my paper and art supplies into!
All I want for Christmas, or my birthday, labor day, whenever. THIS!!
