Addressing the need for a smarter packaging, they plan to introduce a fully biodegradable packet within the next year. It certainly helps to combat one aspect of this guilty pleasure of mine.

This is simply a lovely little clip. There website is cool too. http://www.sunchips.com

This is a brilliant talk. Highly recommended for any individual looking to embrace their egalitarian spirit but feel overwhelmed by the shear scale of their challenge. GO GET EM!!

HRH talking at the Royal Institute of British Architects.

This is surprisingly very interesting. Charles discusses the legacy of the Modernist experiment and its impact on society through its preoccupation with the mechanic. In doing so he touches on sustainabilty, holistic thinking and organic architecture. I am impressed (when will that damn Queen abdicate).
