Cubis is a packaging concept design which is claimed to be the world&#8217;s first stackable, fliptop plastic beverage container. Because of it&#8217;s cube shape, the Cubis takes up less space on store shelves, and transportation becomes more efficient (and therefore eco-friendly) as well.  The Cubis is also made out of recycled materials and can be used with one hand.  It&#8217;s scheduled to be released for use next month.

This is an extract from the draft of John Grant’s new book Co-opportunity, contracted for publication with John Wiley &#38; Sons Limited, January 2010. This extract is the introduction to the book.
My new book, Co-opportunity is based on the growing realization that sustainability is going to require nothing less than a wholesale shift to more co-operative social systems. It’s not just about shaving off energy, waste or carbon emissions – nor about ‘band aid’ approaches to poverty. It’s about a new way of organizing society for the common good. Many people have described this shift. Prince Charles in a recent [...]]]></description>

We were recently invited to a roundtable discussion with David Schembri, President of Smart USA.  The event marked Smart&#8217;s first attempt at engaging bloggers as part of their marketing outreach.  While there wasn&#8217;t any car being launched, it was a nice opportunity to hear about how the company is fairing and what they have in the pipeline.
Smart has been selling cars in the U.S. for just under two years, and in that time has sold in excess of 30,000 units.  They are in the process of bracing for some new competition, expected to pop up in the next two years [...]]]></description>

Frito-Lay has announced one of their snacks is becoming just a bit more sustainable. Starting in 2010, all of the SunChips multigrain chips will come in fully compostable bags made out of plant-based materials. They claim the packaging will completely decompose in about 14 weeks. Let&#8217;s hope they begin using this type of bag for all their snacks.

Ecofriend points us to an interesting invention that recaptures wasted heat energy from a shower&#8217;s waste water. The EcoDrain will grab heated water before it goes down the drain and uses it&#8217;s heat to help wram incoming shower water. The Ecodrain&#8217;s creators believe that it could potentially save millions of dollars a year in energy costs.

Is Detroit the next Berlin? For the past several years, artists, musicians and others seeking time and space to work, and an inexpensive place to live have flocked to the German city. Now it seems that Detriot may be headed towards a similar influx of like-minded people.
Detroit has been in economic decline for some time now, and the current recession has made things even worse &#8211; or into an opportunity, depending how you look at it. At this point in Detriot, you can purchase a house for as low as $100. Urban pioneers are beginning to move in to take [...]]]></description>

Tuvie points us to an potentially useful concept design by Julien Bergiginat. His Eol&#8217;eau tower is a duel purpose resource collector. The unit captures up to 600 liters of rainwater and can create electricity via a wind-powered generator. A wind powered light may also be attached to the Eol&#8217;eau, adding a third function to this eco-friendly tool.

While recycled denim creations may not be a particularly new concept, CScout Japan points us to a nice example of recycling jeans into a hand-made piece of furniture.  You send in three pairs of jeans (or other pant material) to the furniture manufacturer, NOyes, and they turn them into a custom stool.  The NOyes website has a video and step-by-step guide on how the stool is made by hand.
A custom denim stool takes three weeks to make and costs ¥36,720 ($400).

The Platform21 collective has an interesting new project that celebrates and promotes repair as the &#8220;new recycling&#8221;. In opposition to throwaway culture, they are aiming to rekindle the joy of fixing things.

Ever since the slow food movement came to prominence in the 90s, there has been a general shift in the way we perceive food and how we expect it to be produced. First, there was the whole fair trade thing, then it was all about being organic, now, it&#8217;s all about being local &#8211; and one of the latest trends we&#8217;ve been noticing is young urbanites taking matters into their own hands, and growing their own food.
The Greenhorns is a documentary currently in production focusing on the lives of America&#8217;s young farming community.  Speaking with farmers from Maine to [...]]]></description>

Artist Mark Langan has figured out a beautiful way of reusing corrugated cardboard as a medium for his artworks. Using only found cardboard, non-toxic glue and cutting tools, Langan creates intricate three dimensional pieces that recontextualize the unique qualities of the different kinds of packing materials into new meanings.

		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to reduce traffic and congestion, the city of Santa Monica instituted a bike valet for their weekly farmers market.  Operating more like a coat check than a fancy valet, riders can drop off their bike for safe storage while they grab their veggies.  While the free service has been going on for the past two years, we were bit surprised that we haven&#8217;t seen more brands stepping in to operate similar services &#8211; particularly with the current hoopla surrounding bike culture and the eco-conscious.

Electric car infrastructure start-up Better Place has announced a recent round of funding totalling $135 million, which will help to ensure the company&#8217;s plans for a massive network of electric car charging stations in Denmark. The country has made owning an an electric car a lucrative proposition by charging no tax on the purchase of the car, as opposed to the 180% tax on a gas vehicle.
Silicon Alley Insider explains Better Place:
