| + | ** Orpheum frutescens** is a flower which has struck up an exclusive relationship with **the carpenter bee**. In order to get the tasty pollen the bee has to vibrate its wings at a particular frequency – middle C. These oscillations then make the flower open its stamens which releases the pollen, covering the bee in the fine yellow powder. This specific relationship ensures that the flowers’ pollen is taken by the carpenter bee to another flower of the same species, and so isn’t wasted. | ||

| After talking to Marloes and Mischa yesterday I came up with this Dutch documentary on a whole new thinking of design, recycling and the future of food. The theory [[cradle_to_cradle]] is based on 0% trash generation, 100% compostation of objects we produce, buy and throw away. According to the architect William McDonough and the chemist Michael Baumgart (the two authors of the cradle-to-cradle ideology) things have to go faster, easier and cleaner to the environment. Recycling as we know today isn't real, it's actually downcycling. Recycling is only true when things are really useful for the environment and as good enough for us as if was brand new. | After talking to Marloes and Mischa yesterday I came up with this Dutch documentary on a whole new thinking of design, recycling and the future of food.
