Save paper, ink and trees - Green File Format, by WWF

Good idea, well explained



Every day, entire forests are cut down to make paper. Paper that’s senselessly used to print out documents all over the world: websites, emails, even entire books, in spite of the fact that it's easy to avoid printing by saving the document as a PDF. But even PDFs can sometimes also be printed out. So to stop unnecessary printing and encourage a new awareness about the use of paper, we’ve developed a new, green file format: WWF. A format that can’t be printed out. A simple idea that saves trees. Join in. Decide for yourself which of your documents don’t need printing - and save them as WWF.

Designers brief on stop signs

Don't know who made this, but must have been out of frustration ;-)

An oldie, but still sooo funny (and sadly, still soooo true - anyone working in communications have had very similar experiences, I'm sure! Clients like that should be fired (at)...).

Jaws IV in Amsterdam Canals



Amsterdamned indeed - it can't be because of the so called 'chicken' of Kentucky Fried, everyone who read 'eating meat' knows its better to be attacked by the shark then buy the ingredients of that fast food junk... It just proofs that sharks are illiterate.

The lion rules!

A bit of chauvinism is allowed when Holland is playing the finals!



Great ING-commercial - main sponsor of the Dutch national soccer team- is getting more perfect with every victory ;-)

Let's hope that at least some Africans got a piece of the spending with the making off. Hope that 'Leuk Werkt' didn't pull a FIFA on them...

In Dutch - again.. sorry for that

But I love this video - broadcasted (or narrowcasted - depending on how you want to look at it) via internet. It's the essence of why we started a new political network organisation and the reason why we are participating in the Dutch national government elections with Partij één (one - from one-ness). W don't believe in left or right. Those are old politics. The new generations believes in entrepreneurshio AND idealism. Its both- not neither / or. Entrepreneurship should service people, animals and environment. Instead of abusing these. With money as a means, not an end. www. partijeen.nl

Oproep Partij één in dagblad De Pers vrijdag 4 juni



Partij één is een nieuwe politieke partij, verkiesbaar via Lijst 16. We vallen niet zo op tussen het landelijke verbale geweld van de oude partijen. En dat is zonde. Vinden wij. Want we hebben absoluut een missie. Niet in angst maar in kansen denken. Ondernemerschap met Idealisme. Niet terugvallen in oud denken zoals links of rechts.

Zie hier onze oproep in dagblad De Pers en hier een toelichting van lijsttrekster Yesim Candan.

Vindt u ook dat het om visie en kansen moet gaan? Geef Nederland dan een kans. Stem op Partij één. Want verandering begint vandaag.

Happy Heater revisited

When in need of positive vibes: play this!
Geneva. Love this clip (and Samin's music) - happy, with a Colombian touch (Vallenato) and a global 'enjoy the music' feel to it.

New new new Partij één



We need to do things different, we need to learn to share again, to let every person develop his or herself to his or her fullest potential and to facilitate businesses that serve people instead of people serving businesses. That all this has to be beneficiary to people, animals and the environment alike goes without saying.

Partij één: to do things different, you only have to start now.

Creatief met onderwijs

Ik ben zo blij, zo blij - dat zijn neus van voren zit en niet opzij,

verder niks zinnigs kunnen ontdekken: PVV over onderwijs - uhm, misschien middelbare school nog een keertje overdoen?
