I dieci punti secondo thomas.matthews
1) re - thinking (we step back and think before we dive in to find a different way to communicate our clients’need)
2) re - using
3) using friendly materials
4) saving energy (we reduce our client’s carbon footprint by using sustainable energy sources + We design to minimise energy demand)
5) sharing new ideas (we seek out and use new technologies and materials and collaborate whenever we can)
6) designing to last (we want to design things that last by specifying the right material for the job)
7) staying local, buying ethical (we work to find good local suppliers fot each job, to avoid the extra energy and polllution + When we can’t buy locally, we source ethical suppliers)
8) supporting what we believe (we work for clients who push agendas we care about: better recycling, fighting climate change, tackling hunger, raising money to make good things happen)
9) inspiring, and having fun (we want to create design that is beautiful, clever and sustainable all at once)
10) saving money (we demonstrate to our clients that thinking ‘sustainable’ can save resources and money)

E tutti lo adorano.
D’altra parte, da uno che è in grado di intrattenere le folle come fosse un consumato cabarettista ci si aspetta che riesca a fare di tutto. Ed infatti…"

cè solo da pensare ke qualcuno pensi altro?
