We live in an increasingly conscientious age, all of our actions have reactions. As designers we should be leading on these issues, not just as a commercial imperative, but as part of a wider change in our approach.

"Three trees is a is a not for profit enterprise set up to help everyone involved in design and advertising to rethink their working cultures and start to produce sustainable creative solutions that really work."

This kind of stuff really needs our support and recognition. It made the Design Week Hot 50 for 2008 (along with dynamo london) so it must be good

Dickey is a humorous modification of the naked bulb on a luster terminal. Everybody knows the immense energy demand of electric bulbs. This product is a small jest and also a homage. "So don't buy this product - switch to energy saving lamps!"

Botanical Gameboy + Custom Game, 2004

Botanical Gameboy was an experiment conducted during Playshop. This was an attempt to power a gameboy by harvesting voltage from lemons 9 lemon trees. We designed a custom game: Count Volta to live on the gameboy. Through this experiment, we found that we would need 48,000 lemons to power our gameboy, thus we demonstrated the wonders of powering small devices and controlling video playback speed by squeezing lemons. (see images)
