Pre-Order the Future

Neste, the Finnish oil refiner, and Richard Williams, aka Prince Ea, have joined forces on a project called “Pre-Order the Future” aimed at creating more environmentally friendly products.

We want to raise awareness around the potential of renewable materials, and how they can be used to create truly pioneering products across variety of applications.
— Matti Lievonen, President and CEO of Neste

They’re asking the public to submit ideas for new product and service ideas across five topics: public spaces, entertainment, travel, learning, and mobility.

In August 2016, a jury will choose one of the five product or service concepts to be developed into a prototype that will be launched in January 2017.

People don’t choose dreams, dreams choose them… do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you?

Offset Your Naughty

Offset Your Naughty

Afraid of getting coal in your stocking this year? Turn your bad deed into a win for the environment at Offset Your Naughty. Creative agency Carmichael Lynch is purchasing a carbon offset (equivalent to one metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions) for every confession, up to 400 entries.

Carmichael Lynch’s purchase of 400 metric tons is equivalent to planting 10,256 tree seedlings and growing them for 10 years, or preserving 4 acres from being deforested for a year.

So go ahead, get off that naughty list!
