Tomorrow I head off to ECOpack at the NEC to try to get more support for the RE:tie.
This was timely.
Should packs promote social causes?
So long as the enviROI is positive, it's hard to fault any design for working towards a greater good.
Certainly we at Junkk.com try and advocate reuse at every turn, and facilitate it even if not intended.
But our greatest hope is for second uses that can be built-in, especially if they can be re-evolutionary to existing designs and hence impose little or no capital or material impositions, such as the RE:tie tamper evident security closure for example.
In addition to CSR, PR and marketing opportunities in their own right, such components can surely also provide many of the functions described and discussed above!?
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.
