it’s a topic no one wants to deal with, but we all have to, eventually. recycling, saving whales, forests, carbon foot print, organic, oil, water, jesus, micheal jackson… nothing will help unless this is addressed in some way. Ooouch! by xy
does anyone recognize this place? if so, i’m sure we’ve crossed paths in one way or another. i wonder if this rugged hidden beauty is the same or has the glacier melted and the ocean turned purple? by kl

the mission one electric bike, designed by our good friends at fuse project, has achieved a world record of 150.059 miles/hour at the bonneville speedway salt flats. now of course the big question regarding the world record is: how many electric bikes are out there to begin with?
the mission one is admittedly of the best looking bikes in the crotch rocket category, which is a hard one to pull off (see our post on another category: the elsinore and yet another category the royal enfield) but given its electric powerhouse, it is the most green of them all. the mission one bike can be reserved prior to launch for as little as $68,995 (tires are included). well done mr. yves behar, may the force remain with you. by dd
ecofont the prints we make for our ‘daily use’ not only use paper, but also ink. according to SPRANQ creative communications (utrecht, the netherlands) your ink cartridges (or toner) could last longer. SPRANQ has therefore developed a new font: the ecofont. “after dutch holey cheese, there now is a dutch font with holes as well.” appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? after extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. after lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses up to 20% less ink. free to download, free to use. to download here by pp’

“help remedies” which is offered on virgin america, and local NYC rickeys, amongst other places, is the apple computers of all pharmaceuticals. the packaging containing a variety of remedies such as headache medicine, sleep issues, etc seems bio-degradable enough. it is made of molded paper pulp and a bio plastic made primarily of corn. unfortunately it still uses the same old blister packs inside (non bio-degradable). it gets a A for design and B for total earth friendlyness. bringing its GPA to a B+ … well its still better than the D- of Beyers and the rest. support them if you can find em. by dd
