So instead of having separate bins for trash, paper, plastic, and compost, the Rhode Island School of Design uses compostable plates and plasticware.

Food scraps, plates, cups, and utensils all go in the same bin. How amazing if this were the new normal! Implementing systems of zero-waste is certainly an idealistic view of the future. 

As we’ve seen, and will continue to see in our blog posts, going zero waste is incredibly difficult- especially in the city. But transitioning into this style of disposable would be a huge step towards a more sustainable way of life <3

Talk talk talk but when do things get done? 

I hate this elite privileged volunteerism culture where everything is over documented and everyone feels good about themselves but all in all nothing has been accomplished. 

Also, just because something is online does NOT mean that it is accessible. Because only a privileged group of people in this world have access to the internet, or even printed, designed matter.

The subtle vibes of art/design people just being used to their creative talents but then being disposed of and not really given credit are also not cool.

It all harks back to who is paying. How do you change this?

Everything is sociology of design. 

Is storytelling really just re-branding? What is a story then?

Jane Philbrick seems like a really cool person.
