Now, a handful of years later, more than 10 million people are collecting the brand specific waste that we’ve used to make a range of products; it has become increasingly common and may some day be as conventional as recycling. Currently, several startups are building their busi… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via Greenpacks We hear it all the time, and have heard it since Malthus : That overpopulation is the primary cause of the world’s environmental ills. It makes sense in simple logical terms: The more people there are consuming natural resources, the greater a threat humanity poses to exhausting them. Hard to argue with that. But the issue is of course more complex — and there’s an interesting back-and-forth over at Grist on the subject to prove it. O… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Even if the device itself isn’t capable of doing so (though plastic and metal are pretty much eternal), he is ensuring that they’ll live on by creating them in concrete.
