Greenpeace

Our world is important for so many reasons, not only for the fact that without it, we as a species would not exist. As such we need to work on preserving it and keeping it safe for future generations.

Greenpeace are the world’s largest organisation dedicated to this cause. At a glance they help safeguard our world against:

Climate change
Defending marine life and habitats
Keeping ancient forests safe from logging
Encouraging world peace and disarmament

It’s strongly recommended that you check out their website (www.greenpeace.org) to see how you can help. It’s in the best interests of not only yourself, but everyone around you.

Flat Futures (Digital Papers)

If only this were real! Flat futures, the MA project of Miquel Mora, shows how digital paper could be interacted with in order to provide meaning to the user. One of his examples shows a paper alarm clock which switches off when it is scrunched up. My favorite though is the memory envelope (via CR Blog) which shows the recipient where the letter has travelled on it’s way to them via gprs.

Blog Action Day

So this is quite a good idea, Blog Action Day invites blogs worldwide to unite and blog about one important issue on October 15th, 2007. I think this is a great way to raise the profile of world issues and the reach of this could be phenomenal. With some big names in the blog world like lifehacker among others (it was a big damned list and I couldn’t be bothered scanning it all to find another big name blog, but they’re in there!) this has the potential to be very big. Needless to say this blog will be participating, and if any of you guys have blogs then it’d be cool if you did too!

Last Exit To Nowhere

Being a bit of a film geek, Last Exit To Nowhere is awesome. As they say on their site:

“home to a collection of unique shirt designs which are inspired and pay homage to some of the most memorable places, corporations and companies in 20th century fiction – from the sunny shores of Amity Island (Jaws) to the frozen climes of Outpost #31 (The Thing).”

I especially love the Tyrell Corp & Weyland-Yutani (from Bladerunner & Aliens respectively, and shown above), which are two of my favourite movies ever.
