Today I am feeling socially conscious. Yes, I am the person in the office that prints off more documents than I probably should, but I prefer to read and markup documents with a pen. Just my style. I am, however, aware of the impact of all my printing, so I do my best to recycle paper at the office.
At home is another story. My husband and I do not recycle, but the more I read and research the topic of sustainability, corporate social responsibility and plain old recycling, the more I think I need to get with the program.
Being socially conscious is all the buzz and I know of food companies that are committed to environment practices and I know of people that are loyal to recycling, but I also wonder how many people talk the game, but don't walk the game.
So let me know how you are supporting the environmental cause.
To complete this whole thought, I wanted to include this image and short descriptor as an example of social consiousness and perhaps as inspiration.
Feed up with the vast amount of food people waste, Vogels created SPROUT, a small-scale restaurant concept that recycles absolutely everything not consumed. In his attempt to create a zero-waste establishment, the Dutch design student went as far as using coffee grinds and herbs to create plates and bowls. This fully compostable collection has since been dubbed Wasteware.
