Biodegradable pen.

Aug 19, 2010


the time has come to start thinking about pens like plastic bottles.

Buy one and refill it; Don’t keep chucking out the disposable variety. The plastic your pen is made of is just as harmful for the environment as the plastic bottles we’ve been weened off of in recent years.

Of course, not all pens are refillable. The solution is the DBA 98 Pen. It’s produced at a wind-powered facility, uses potato-based packaging, non-toxic ink and compostable plastic. All that adds up to a 98% biodegradable pen. Pick up a 3-pack for $9.

Putting plastic back in the ocean.

Aug 6, 2010

it’s ironic that the world’s first floating dining room is built on a bed of plastic bottles.

The surprisingly spacious dining area sits on a reclaimed pinewood frame that houses 1700 plastic bottles and can accommodate 12 guests for a 6-course sustainable seafood meal. It’s ironic by intention, of course. Designer Shannon Ronalds is trying to make a point.




Ronalds, founder of The School of Fish Foundation, is using the floating restaurant to educate chefs on the seafood industry and the impact that discarded plastic has on the ocean environment. All proceeds from the meal go to supporting the School of Fish’s education initiatives, like Shannon’s mission to make comprehensive sustainable seafood courses a requirement for graduation and providing schools with scientific data from marine conservation organizations. These initiatives are especially relevant now that the ocean has far more than just plastic bottles to contend with thanks to the Gulf oil spill, and chefs will have to make increasingly informed decisions when it comes to planning a seafood-based menu.
