business cards...really?
The other day we rush printed new business cards for some of us heading to SXSW. (Check out my new title!)
You can't go to a major conference like SXSW without cards, right? Wrong. I handed out about four cards. Maybe five, if you include the card that was required to get a free t-shirt at the Veer booth.
And for me, SXSW was all about meeting people. I met hundreds of new people. Some amazing people. Some really smart people. The thing is, they don't need my card. And I don't need theirs. If we made a mark on each other, we know how to find each other - and we've probably already connected on Twitter.
People like Steve Rubel are really proud of the fact that their Twitter ID is now on their card. (We've been doing this for years.) I ask: do we really need cards at all?
We are in desperate need for a universal contact exchange (that people are willing to adopt) that does not involve paper. Plenty of companies have invented this, but no one has created a product that's hit the hot button. Yet. This has to come soon. Maybe Google, Facebook or Twitter will make it happen. Or maybe we'll just keep printing rectangular squares with website addresses on them.
How many pieces of paper have you left behind, recently?

i don't need your card
I've been saying this forever, but Chris Brogan just perfectly summarized what should be the new business card etiquette, everywhere:
Unless you want to do business with me, don’t give me a business card. We both know how to reach each other, so unless one of us asks for one, let’s not hand them out. We tend to give out business cards because we’ve been taught this is what to do. It’s not. It’s the old way. In the old way, we just blast people with messages whenever WE need something. In the new way, you and I should only exchange cards if we’re looking to do future business. Otherwise? We roughly know how to reach each other, don’t we?
Save a card. Save the planet. Rewire the way humans do business.
Seems like common sense, right? Yet how many meetings did you sit through in the last week, where everyone in the meeting did the card exchange? Even though everyone in the meeting is already on the same email thread.
Business cards: only when you absolutely need them. (Pictured above: the single best business card, ever.)

let's get naked and cuddle
The Green Thing reminds us that we can help the earth by turning down our thermostats. This weekend is the perfect time to turn that into an opportunity for nakedness with your loved one. Keep each other warm, and save the environment, too.
Green Thing has created a handful of ready-to-send Valentine's day cards that you can send your honey as an invitation to cuddle together for warmth.
Here's the one that I've made for you.

greenalicious design that tastes great
Imagine a product design that looks super hot. Then imagine that design could reduce air pollution. And reduce water pollution. And save energy. A product design change that can accomplish all of that?
Meet the "naked" coke can. There are 24 billion coke cans produced every year. That's a lot of Coca Cola red paint. Not only does that create boku waste in manufacturing, but removing the paint adds a step to the recycling process. Eliminate the paint and you reduce manufacturing crap, and make recycling easier.
Gizmodo has all the math proving this is the most awesome greenalicious package redesign ever. Awesomeness times ten.

fake ny post paper raises awareness about climate change
The Yes Men, professional pranksters extraordinaire, created their own versions of the NY Post complete with headlines and stories that talk about how climate change could unleash heat waves, flooding, and other disasters over the next decades. Nearly one million copies of the paper were distributed throughout NYC along with a fake website, all to commemorate Climate Week.
According to the Yes Men blog post on the stunt, the 32-page New York Post is a fake, but everything in it is 100% true, with all facts carefully checked by a team of editors and climate change experts. From SJ Boden.

greenpeace takes the fun out of sneaker shopping
Your sneakers are killing rain forests. Seems like a stretch? Greenpeace puts the entire story together for you.
Thankfully my sneakers are nylon, so instead of killing rain forests, some plastic/nylon factory is spewing out cancerous exhaust from a giant smokestack. I guess this means that we finally have to buy those uglified hemp sneakers. Dammit. I hate those ugly foot covers.

science is awesome
Scientists rock. Not because they're curing disease, or eliminating pollution and bad things from our lives - but because they've invented a car that can change color with the weather.
For real. MINI is introducing a model at the Singapore car show that changes color. It will auto morph into a more reflective color on hot days (to reflect the heat) or darker colors on colder days (to attract the sun.)
I want one with a remote control, that I can change from an internet browser. Please??? From David Armano.

Want to spray your message all over the streets without making a big enviro-mess? Check out what media company Curb is doing. Street ads produced with stencils and salt water.
It turns out that salt water evaporates really slowly, so ads can hang on the sidewalk for a couple of hours in the sun. Now you can bring the beach to the streets of anywhere.

tweet your energy usage
This involves science, math, and electrical engineering, so don't expect any creative explanation from me...but the people at The Green Thing are tweeting their electricity usage for events.
If it were really possible to utilize a "twitter plug," this would be a cool idea for events to feature a badge on their website, showcasing actual energy usage for the event. A clear announcement that they care, and are taking steps to reduce usage, with a live read on what's actually happening.
Is this what the kids did in science, while we were in art class?

making positive change with positive shopping
Carrotmob is a new group that's organizing consumers to shop strategically. They're organizing flash shopping mobs to spend their money at a retailer who agrees to spend a percentage of the day's sales on energy improvements to their business.
You can watch a video about the concept on CarrotMob's site. They started in San Francisco, and now have chapters in Kansas City, Bristol England and New York. What started as an experiment is delivering long lines of passionate customers to retail, while making effective energy change neighborhood by neighborhood.

a forest to go
Here's a cool installation in Amsterdam called The Moving Forest. A bunch of trees planted in shopping carts, and then assembled together as a portable forest.
A forest in shopping carts is awesome art, and a great statement. And practical too. A mobile forest can roll out of the way to avoid wildfires. Or evil loggers. Hmmm. Maybe we should just pave everything, and put all of the trees in shopping carts, to be more flexible...

put away the butcher knife
You know the drill. Buy a new product. Something like a memory card, that's about 1.5 inches square. And it's sent to you in a plastic security box that's about three feet wide, requiring the use of a kitchen butcher knife, a screwdriver and a reciprocating saw to open. (Or maybe that's just my house.)
Anyway, Amazon has solved the problem, with Frustration-Free packaging. Not only does it open without an OJ knife - they've completely eliminated all excess packaging. And it's recyclable. Reason to love Amazon just a little more today. From RMI Today.

turn a hummer into a rolling joke
Ji Lee, Andrew Wilcox and Nelly Ma wanted to do something to raise awareness about the harms of the monster truck mommy vans called Hummers, rolling through suburbia. So they produced Tag a Dummer.
Download perfectly sized "D" letters and you can turn a Hummer into a Dummer. All you'll need is a printer some double stick tape, and you'll be turning beasts into demonstration vehicles!
Users can upload pics of tagged Hummers while learning about the harm they're doing to the environment. (I wonder what Hummer Brand Managers think of all this.) From Josh Spear

To raise attention to the plight of the polar bears, GreenPeace erected a series of homeless bear statues. Communicating their message in their own way.
The police (and bomb squad) removed them, fearful that they were...packed with explosives. Couldn't they have just sent Ms. Palin with a butcher knife, for a field dressing? AnimalNewYork has more funny pics and a video.

nyc tap water. buy it by the bottle.
If it weren't so non-green, this would be the marketing concept of the year. NYC tap water bottled up all clean and designery looking. They should add water from Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Chicago to their product line. And then setup city water taste events. They could even do a "multi-city blend." Silly.

green beer: not just for st. patty anymore
The latest brewery trend has patrons bringing their beer home in jugs. Called Growlers, the practice actually dates way back to the ancient beer drinking days. But it's hip all over again.
Growling is a great way to bring the fresh micro-brew taste home, and it's a hell of a lot greener than a twelve pack of cans. And your friends will think you're awesome. And you'll be able to call yourself a Growler, which is almost like being in a gang.

retail: time to close the doors
NYC just passed a bill requiring retail chain stores to close the door if the A/C is on. Seems pretty logical. But if they close their doors, how will they pump the annoying Abercrombie music out onto the streets?
This is an interesting trend in the greening of retail. Architects, retailers and merchandisers should pay attention. Window displays and doors will have to welcome visitors in new ways - while being closed. Maybe doormen will come back. And elevator button dudes. The Greeter industry. Love it.

what to do with the hillary clinton yard signs
Is your yard filled with Hillary Clinton promotional signs, and now you don't know what to do? Not to worry.
The dudes over at Build a Sign will send you a FREE Obama sign, if you send them your old Hillary sign. I'm guessing they make the Hillary signs into Obama signs. Or send them to countries where people can't afford political yard signs. Whatever.
If you're a former Hillary now Obama supporter, this sounds like a pretty good deal. And a great promotion for Build a Sign. If only they had a program for garden gnomes.

green marketing: not painting brands green?
A new report is showing that people don't necessarily see a company as being environmentally responsible, just because they spent millions of dollars telling them so.
Walmart, GE, and Bank of America, three brands that lead spending (of green) in bragging about their green-ness, weren't perceived as being green. This, by an audience of people who really, really want to know which companies are green.
Would have been fun to do the same survey, using the word greed.

This is a great series, featuring some really intelligent discussion about marketing, branding, social media and our industry in general. They've lowered their standards for this episode on a one-time-only basis, and assure me that the rest of their shows will feature real guests. Who don't say "um" as much.

time to be an alarmist
Here's a new twist on a social protest. The flash mob done in a new way. Alarmists. Set your alarm (cell phone, watch, desk clock, whatever) to go off on the 11th day of every month, at 11am. And when your friends look at you as if to say "what a dork - turn that thing off - we're trying to work here," tell them what it's all about. And they'll tell two friends...
Or - you could wear a FlavaFav style clock around your neck. One of those old school alarm clocks with the big bells on top.
Soon, at 11am on the 11th, we'll all be stopping, and listening to alarms. Cool idea.

what happened to the eco flag?
Back in the 1970's, there was a super big eco boom. I believe it was similar to what we're experiencing today, with 'green.' Before that period, (and before this spot) people proudly threw garbage out their car window. And there was a huge smokestack in every backyard.
There was a sweet green and yellow eco logo and flag that became the universal symbol of the movement. What happened to the sweet eco flag? Why did it die? Just wondering.

is your out of the box marketing piece offending greensters?
AboutDesign makes a great point about a new ad insert for Yellow Tail Wines. He was offended by the ad. Not in the traditional way you might expect to be offended by advertising. There was no racy message, nudity or inappropriate language here. Richard was offended by waste.
Yellow Tail Wines produced an insert in RealSimple Magazine, where the ad incorporated blinking LED lights. You've seen this before - cute, and attention-getting. And probably a significant budget expenditure for the brand. What they didn't consider was that they'd also be putting hundreds of thousands of electronic parts into a landfill. Not a great practice for a product that originates from the earth.
It's not easy being green. Customer perceptions and cares are changing. And as creatives, we're not all accustomed to thinking about the impact of our physical campaigns. But some audiences are paying attention - as evidenced by Richard's post.
Before launching your next physical campaign, it may be a good idea to ask things like:
"what impact does this have to the environment?"
"how will my customers with environmental concerns perceive this piece?"
Because the best advertising can capture attention and be green.
