Greener Gadgets Rawks

I was looking at the latest post on Cool Hunting (a must-subscribe blog, if you ask me). Anyway, Green Gadgets, a conference all about new innovations in green (as if that wasn’t self-explanatory by the title…lol) wants you to show them something new and green. And so do I!

The design competition will engage established design firms and students alike to come up with new solutions for consumer electronics addressing energy issues, health and toxicity, new materials, product lifecycle and social development.

Green Gadgets is so interesting, I think it’s quite the challenge for new, untested designers to really invent something that is new, but that doesn’t waste a ton of resources at the same time. It’s really an exercise in streamlining. It also challenges our notions of what it is to innovate: oftentimes it involves subtracting, and not just adding. Anyway, good luck to all of you smart green kids!
