Leading up to XMAS and during the holidays we will turn off our TVs ;-) following Noam Chomsky´s good advice (see video below) to have more time to ourselves and to gain fresh insights for the new year. Join us if you like. (Thank you David McConville for sharing and The Juice Media Rap News for producing)
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.
Following our article of the „Crowd-starting dancer“ I like to present what I believe is part 2 to this story: The dancer or the dancing crowd being inspired by another crowd or dancer. Chris Anderson in his TED Talk below makes a very strong case for „Video Driven Innovation“. One dancer being inspired by the next by being able to watch his or her moves in an online video. And this goes on and on as more people share their ideas and „new moves“ on video. All it takes are the elements of a „crowd“, the „light“ that shines on them and their „desire“ to change or innovate. Join our campaign and share your „moves“.
Makespace, Coworking Space in Singapore, opening in January 2012 has joined our campaign. The latest pictures are very promising. Boon Teck Tan writes:“We had to do up our coworking space, quite a bit as it was a pretty old space. We had been able to reuse some of the 20 year old light fixtures and supplement them with newer ones. Brings about a certain charm, to repaint and reuse them.“ Of what we can see, this looks great!!! If you like to share examples of „Waste becomes Resource“ elements in your coworking space please join our group on Facebook or send an article to redaktion@coworking-news.de .
Thank you Bert-Ola Bergstrand for sharing!!! Wow this is very instructive!!! First followers get into the groove, join the dance. This movement is about sharing news about coworking!!! It is about collaboration, joint consumption, exchange of ideas and projects that rock!!!
