I found this site because of this issue, i’m doing my dissertation on “How Contemporary Crafts Can Help Stop a ‘Throw Away Nation’” and the disposable cup vs ceramic mugs is my case study, my sort of theory is based on sentiment and how people build up relationships with the objects that they use and that this should be utilised to change the social veiw of how we consume. I definately practise what i preach but i think businesses need to set up more inishutives and make it their resposability! Well done everyone for doing your thing and making a difference!

can’t afford to eat organic and fair trade all the time on my student loan but do as much as possible, don’t eat meat coz of over farming and deforestation and only eat fresh fish 2 or 3 times a week from the local fish monger, soo much better when its fresh and not trawler caught!

Student, studied “3D Design for Sustainability” for two years but doing my third year on “Contemporary Crafts”, i changed because although i am all for the sustainability aspect of the course there just wasn’t enough making involved. I’m a surfer and a member of surfers against sewage, raised money for them by cutting off the “Shit-Lock”!
