I have been doing a lot of reading and researching recently, tracking trends and ideas as I think about 2010. It strikes me that there are so many fascinating ideas that people are writing about or reporting on or offering interesting opinion on…. I could get lost for years in the internet. However, there are a number of articles that have really caught my eye- from off the wall ideas, to factual news, to economic developments that impact not only the way we do business but how people are standing up to unethical trading and fashion…
So I thought I would pull together a list of some of these points…. If it’s interesting then I’ll continue to do it every couple of weeks.
1) The ethical fur debate continues. This is one I am particularly interested given we have just taken delivery of our ethical fur slippers….
2) Newcastle – no longer black and white, but green
3) Bomb proof wallpaper- “it does what it says on the tin” – just watch this video!
4) Holland and Barrett ban plastic bags, another step forwad on the high street
5) Heres an ide
a for dentists not sure how to improve the recycling in their surgeries…human teeth jewellery…Vote on whether you ‘love em’ or ‘hate em’.
6) A survey has highlighted that less than half of the population believes that humans are to blame for global warming… staggering
8) A new store Goodnewsforpolarbears has launched- a free local recycling website that lets people recycle things they no longer need by simply giving them to other people that DO need them. Like eBay, items are listed with multiple photos, helping others see exactly what’s on offer – except all items listed must be free. Visitors can search the site, browse through categories, or set alerts to get automatically emailed when stuff they want is on offer.
