Open sourcing eco-innovation

There are more than 100 million tons of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean alone. It's always great to hear of groups reaching out to collaborate in ways that allow fore innovation to target this sort of "dirty-clean resource"...

For instance:

Method teamed up with local beach clean-up groups and volunteers to collect plastic debris from the beaches of Hawai'i to use for our ocean plastic bottles.They "use innovation not only to try to solve a problem but also to bring greater awareness to a problem".

Working to develop compostable packaging solutions, OCS2 believes that "the best way to address this significant challenge is the open source our work. Nearly every company is trying to accomplish a similar goal, and by working together, we have the chance to drive an industry shift toward a planet friendly approach."

The smallest of details

Lots of discussions lately seem to indicate a feeling that there is an ever-growing need to bring greater focus to "things of nature" and "things of spirit".
  
There seem to be many people getting more and more distracted, but who also seem to have within them at least the subtlest sense of there being something more...  

In trying to envision ways to work with people in this space, what I keep coming back to is a sense of there being a ‘way’ within each of our lives, and it is for each to define and offer. Everything that exists began in someone’s imagination. Our lives are not unlike other artwork, there is a message in all form of creativity...

What we do every day, in the smallest of details, creates the artwork of our existence.
