“Developed by Amsterdam-based product design agency Waarmakers, the Goedzak is a special garbage bag for items that are still usable. ‘Goedzak’ means both ‘good bag’ and ‘do-gooder’ in Dutch. According to designers Simon Akkaya and Maarten Heijltjes, their concept is a friendly way to give products a second chance and stimulate sustainable behavior.”

“In 1965, Enrico and Luzia Hartsuyker launched Biopolis: a model for a new urban culture. It served as an alternative to the growing urbanisation in the Netherlands since 1945 and the modernistic ideas on separating functions such as living, working and recreation. Compact and flexible, Biopolis is still topical and relevant in terms of sustainable urbanisation.”

Celebrate Earth Day in New York City!
Earth Day is a day where awareness is brought to the Earth’s green environment. There will be plenty of festivities indoors in Grand Central Terminal and outdoors in Union Square! Check it out :-)
Now that’s how you do an urban park. (Though I have to say I love Stanley Park in Vancouver.)
