Think Twice... about the World

by igsz

The people in the film are ordinary people in my life. Their actions in the first part of the movie are unfortunatly everyday things that to many people are overlooking. Some tend to take for granted resources that other people work very hard for.Some tend to neglect the very place they live in.Some tend to waist what for others would be a life saver. Some tend to ignore what others would gladly appreciate even for a few hours. Some tend to ignore the damage sometimes confort causes.

Borrowing design from nature - buildings as symbols for sustainable thinking.

by gustavborgefalk

This is the roof of the Sagrada Famiglia church, in Barcelona. When Gaudi designed the Sagrada Famiglia, he studied nature closely and mimiced structures, surfaces and materials to optimize his buildings. By borrowing design from nature, when designing new products, we can get better solutions which has a lower impact on the environment. By designing buildings after nature, we create monuments, which all young people can look up to and be inspired by.

The Eco Society

by georgiana

In my paper I am discussing some solutions to create the eco society in compliance with the sustainability of the consumption and the production. Raising the awareness of the people regarding the needs for a green society I offer some ideas that can be put into practice by us, the youths. To be green is to think green. If we change our way of thinking, we will modify our actions. Together we can be one, the "one" that contributes to the sustainable production and consumption.

please consider the environment before printing this email

by devcio

How many emails do you get every day?
How many unnecessary pages you print every day?
If you really must print all documents at least use their both sides. Use their back pages later for notes. Use paper shredder and re-use your pages to pack fragile gifts. So many things you can do with paper. Don’t waste it.
Consider the environment and stay green!
