TOPIC: GREEN LIVING (71)

Mindful Momma

Hi! My name is Micaela and I’m a work-from-home Mom living in Minneapolis, MN with my husband and our two boys. I started this blog (way back in 2006!) as a way to help me make sense of all the confusing and sometimes scary information about green and healthy living that I was confronted with as a parent. It was part creative outlet and part educational platform….both with a steep learning curve!

Oas1s

OAS1S architecture is designed as trees, earth’s most ancient, important and appreciated structures. The unique design is shaped as a numeral 1 and answers to the deep human need to become 1 with nature. OAS1S creates 21st century icons with a highly desirable and true fusion of architecture and nature. A passionate and innovative answer to the current and urgent call for sustainable urbanization globally. A win-win-win concept for people, nature and society, with a mission for radical urban improvement.

PARK(ing) Day

PARK(ing) Day is a annual open-source global event where citizens, artists and activists collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spaces into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public places. The project began in 2005 when Rebar, a San Francisco art and design studio, converted a single metered parking space into a temporary public park in downtown San Francisco. Since 2005, PARK(ing) Day has evolved into a global movement, with organizations and individuals (operating independently of Rebar but following an established set of guidelines) creating new forms of temporary public space in urban contexts around the world.

SHFT

SHFT is a multi-media platform founded by film producer Peter Glatzer and actor-filmmaker Adrian Grenier. Our mission is to convey a more sustainable approach to the way we live through video, design, art and culture. As filmmakers who are concerned with climate change, we felt that we could bring something creative to express the changes we wanted to see and were, gratefully, starting to observe. 
SHFT celebrates the burgeoning sustainable marketplace where great design and innovation meet.  We vote with our dollars and can have a powerful impact when we do.

Sprout

A genuine global innovation is currently springing up all over Europe. A number of young design and robotics students have produced the first pencil you can plant. When the pencil becomes too short to write with, you simply plant it in a pot and after a few weeks you will have delicious fresh herbs or vegetable for the kitchen or flowers for the garden or living room.
