Eco-Conscious Design that counts trees

This amazingly simple tissue box design by Korean designer Lukas Koh makes a bold statement by simply being. Every time you pull a tissue out of this box, it challenges you to rethink your consumption habits.
As you see those tissues declining, the filled in area of the tree decreases, and it forces one to remember where the tissues came from and what the environmental cost of those paper hankies really is.


Bold, simple, and eco-aware.

Puma's Clever Bag Packaging Makes me Swoon. (Eco-Awe)

Fantastic and creative environmentally-friendlier packaging is hitting the mainstream retail world by a storm. Puma's Clever Little Bag (by Yves Behar and fuse project) cuts out extra tissues, laminated printing, and instead of using a full box inside of a big bag, the box has become the bag. Or, ehh... the bag has become a plastic box- sort of. The outer bag itself is 100% recyclable, and it has been heat fused rather than stitched. (It uses less materials in its production.) I love this bag. It's a huge step in the right direction for mainstream retail.
The box-bag gives us both things in one, and for the consumer that forgets to carry an organic cotton shopping tote, it cuts waste in half.

Colourful, thoughtful, hip - when a package makes you want to run out and buy a pair of shoes you know the company is doing something right. Inspiring !
