  Happy Ground Hog Day from the folks from The Daily Green.

  It says it all. Unfortunately.

  Out with cashmere! Cotton tees are this Spring’s new luxury item.

  01.30.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  A luxury cotton t-shirt? That’s right; you heard it here first. This Spring, designer John Smedley will release the fruits of a two-year-long effort to create the perfect tee.
  Only the longest fibers of cotton are used to make the thread for these shirts, making an unusually smooth weave, and linked knit stitches replace […]

  a growing paper company

  12.06.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  A paper company in San Diego has decided to do more than just save trees. Instead of just making paper out of recycled paper, they make paper out of hemp and post-consumer waste.
  My first reaction was to have qualms about the practicality of growing hemp in large amounts. Southern California has some of the largest […]

  Greening, the policy of the ostrich?

  12.01.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  To the light of a survey realized by BBMG in association with Global Strategy & Bagatto that clearly states that consumers prefer to buy from companies that reflect their values, we feel the optimism of the rising new market.
  As our attention is driven by such positive behavior (socially responsible, environmentally-friendly…), by the favorable and disproportionate […]

  The 21st century “new” green revolution!

  10.25.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  As a new version of “The Society of Spectacle” by Guy Debord, the green revolution farce wind blows on an avant-garde era, on a model of consumerism in the world global consumption. Paradoxically it only includes the oligarchic and elitist 20% of the population who disposes of the highest gross national product and consequently develops […]

  “Playing God” for the Greater Good

  09.29.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  In the same way that matter naturally renews itself and is never created or destroyed but instead changes form, the concept of Cradle to Cradle product design and creation was spawned. The intent, albeit Darwinian in nature, is to actually direct the path of a product into a defined renewable resource. Using the […]

  Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green…

  09.05.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  As green is becoming and symbolizes a trademark, as the carefree bees and the candid ants swarm, bind themselves curiously (or consciously?) around the honey taste-like concept of being, acting trendy “green”, reality strikes unexpectedly and irreversibly, once again at the poles!
  Another open-wound is disfiguring the flank of our majestic skyline in the Antarctica, vomited […]

  Brown Bagging Goes Green

  09.05.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  One of the best parts about working at jungle[8] is the delicious fresh meal prepared daily (see blog posting “Salad a la jungle[8]” for photos and a more detailed description). For those who aren’t so lucky, a packed lunch is a school and office necessity. When attempting a brown bag feast, it’s hard to find […]

  Salad ala jungle [8]

  08.30.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  One element that defines working at jungle [8] are our homemade, exquisite salads. As homage to our weekly menu, we decided to create a lunch-line mini-series, (this being the first.) Today’s lunch was presented by principal Lainie and designer Tuan, to the rest of the j8 team- today’s lovely dishwashers. (Notice how even the lime […]

  Green Yahoo!- review + more!

  07.30.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’ve been using Google for such a long time now, much to my surprise when I decided to us Yahoo! this morning, I found a whole new content page. This blog entry is actually not addressing Yahoo’s content offering / redesign (new to me anyway) rather one specific offering in particular. Yahoo! has developed and […]
