metmoc_reddot_jul_07.jpg

Yeah we COULD get some Mobi zipper sandwich bags designed by Todd Oldham OR we could be responsible designers and stop encouraging waste and disposable culture? .... maybe? .... please?

It made me stop and think. I realized I just purchased my first box of Ziploc bags ever last September (still not empty). I always used to think that they were for ‘other people’, coming from a home where there are still old margarine containers kicking around from the 1970s instead of Tupperware. Sheesh -why couldn’t re-using have been cool when I was a kid?
