At BGreenNow™ and Function/Form this is the kind of action we like to see and support. Well done to Sophie, Caroline and Nat for their efforts and good luck with the Three Trees project.

About Three Trees
Vastly experienced, Three Trees’ founders, Sophie Thomas (thomas.matthews), Caroline Clark (Lovely as a Tree) and Nat Hunter (Airside) will continue to run their respective award-winning design practices while working within the industry to share their collective 25 years’ experience in creating effective sustainable design.

When it comes to sustainable design, there are no excuses. Sooner or later our industry will have to rise to the challenge. As creativity is our business, we should be comfortable with the notion of making our design work that bit harder; creatively and for the environment.

1) Howies - this great ethical street & sportswear brand are a cut above the rest, impossible to find any in Australia though. I feel a spending spree coming on during a trip to the UK in Sept.
2) Green - it's probably a spring thing but really enjoying the colour Green.
3) Parcels in the post - always nice to open a parcel first thing in the morning, on this occasion it was some lovely new Patagonia gear.
4) Magic Markers - last week we had new Sharpies, this week new Magic Markers.
5) Nintendo Wii - the Wii sports golf has taken a bit of a going over since it's arrival, now looking forward to stepping up to the full Tiger Woods version.]]>

Clean Up The World, an initiative of Clean Up Australia have discovered that over 80% of all office paper printouts end up in the bin.

Disturbed by the statistic they have taken action with this simple downloadable desktop image produced by DDB Sydney.

Though a very simple and somewhat ‘old school’ device it makes total sense here to hit the users at the heart of the matter, on the device from where all the needless printouts are sent. F/F find it particularly depressing that far from creating a paperless working environment for many electronic communication like email and the internet have just added to pile of things that need to be printed and filed!!

Remember folks BGreen™.
