Zack Hirschfeld, an activist in our campaign, pointed me to this very powerful concept of cradle-to-cradle design. Imagine what it is like when “Waste becomes Resource” is not an afterthought but already part of the initial design process!!! How!!! Underneath you find William McDonough´s TED talk in half (for people with little time). The full talk is here.
In July 2010, we were fascinated by the project “Plastiki“. A boat made out of 12,500 plastic bottles to make a change. The idea was to draw the attention to the plastic waste in our oceans. The project received wide attention ( Oprah, NYTimes etc.) and represents a benchmark in terms of creativity, team spirit and publicity factor for a good cause. This week we found the story of the “Philippine solar light bottles that offer hope“. A concept originally credited to the Brazilian Alfredo Moser.
We always strive to offer our readers a new service and extra “coworking value”. After establishing the “European CoWorking Directory” and the “Open International CoWorking Calendar“, we launch today our format ”Project of the Week“. The idea is to present once a week a project that is of special interest for the international coworking community. It can be a planned project, a project that needs support or financing, or a project that has already been running and has now reached a new level of operation like the CLUBOFFICE-MemberCard we present today.
Der Design Blog hat sie gefunden, die scheinbar besten tragbaren Workstations für mobile Arbeiter. Wer sich also zu Weihnachten noch etwas wünschen möchte, etwa von seinem Arbeitgeber, dem oder der Liebsten, der werfe doch einmal einen Blick auf die formschönen, teilweise ergonomisch sinnvollen Workstations, die auch der Web Urbanist noch um einige Exemplare unter: Geeky Temptation: 16 Slick, Sick, or Stunning Workstations ergänzt hat. Ich weiß schon welche ich will: MIW = My Individual Workstation
Das von Mikko Mannila geführte Unternehmen Finnovations macht sich stark für die deutsche Coworking Bewegung durch das Sponsoring der CoWorking News. Wir freuen uns besonders über diesen Schritt, da das bisher bekannteste Produkt von Finnovations, IdeaMEMO, besonders gut das mobile und kreative Arbeiten unterstützt. Wie gut IdeaMEMO zu Coworking paßt zeigt das kurze Video (22 Sek.) von Coworking Cologne – Gasmotorenfabrik.
