this must be the future: eco-friendly clubbing, where dancing power equals electricity. club4climate started in the netherlands, and have just had an eco-friendly party in london. i would love an eco-friendly dance floor here in copenhagen. visit dr. earth who operates under the motto: all you have to do is dance to save the world (and “partying not parasites”). further initiatives to make clubs self-sufficient, for example flushing toilets with rain-water and making energy out of sweat and urine (!?) are being worked on. for now; club owners (and the rest of us) could embrace just some simple eco-friendly starting points. read springwise’s coverage.

another eco-friendly business idea is to make money with reverse graffiti. again, clever dutchmen are first-movers (and even TM’ed the name GreenGraffiti) in proving that commercial messages can also be eco-friendly. although the case GreenGraffiti is showcasing at present is cleverly extending the notion of “outdoor advertising”, it is pretty lame… i have mixed emotions with this concept. in one way, i think all aspects of businesses should be as eco-friendly as possible, yet in another way, i think most of us would appreciate that public spaces remain free of commercial messages…

it is a safe assumption though that many a good business starts with arts! tags:clubbing, eco friendly, graffiti, sustainability

this is hip, baby (or it was in 2003, but now i am realizing it too)! reverse graffiti. all you need is a dirty facade and some eco-friendly cleaning agents… and you can bring nature (or whatever) back into the streets. it is not even against the law (although the british authorities have had their doubts).

found on inhabitat through my best web buddy stumble. graffiti nowadays is also made out of moss… and i also stumbled upon another artsy dirt lover… (the infamous car tag: “wash me” is likely where the inspiration to reverse graffiti arose). if you like these, you are welcome to check what other good stuff i am happily stumbling upon.tags:eco friendly, graffiti, streetart

recycle your trash and recycle your government, is one of many good and environmental-friendly advices on storyofstuff.com.

i found the site through toothlesstiger.net - run by henriette weber, who advocates no noise marketing, and encourages businesses to embrace the chaos of personal relationships, instead of relying on traditional ad campaigns.

consume less! is the message. this will be top-of-mind once i start to build noochi’s product catalogue. consuming smarter is equal to consuming less. and to add a little zen to this: Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed — that is human. (thank you, mr. lee, for the article. i will try not to mis-use the concept of zen again, but it is such a lovely, lovely word)tags:consumption, stuff, zen

the poster says said: remember to buy eco-friendly - thanks in advance.

i wish i could credit someone for this extremely cool piece of art in westend, copenhagen - but part of the beauty is that i can not.tags:daydreams, eco friendly, streetart
