"Are authentic folk costumes worth saving?" Yes because it is part of what identifies a culture. Maybe they should bring back Volkstrachtenvereine.
I guess the market for quality manufactured clothing/garments is falling to the wayside because of the "disposable society". Why purchase something that may last a long time and is a little more pricey, than something that "if it rips, just go buy a new one because it is cheap."
I would rather have a well made authentic item. They last longer. They can be "let in" or "out" depending on how much you overindulged. And natural fabircs last far much longer and hold up well to everyday use.
Fun. I checked the street view for my work and for my home address. I discovered that I am pulling into the parking lot at work. And I am going out to lunch on a Saturday afternoon.
I am going to design the next UN installation. I am going to base it on Silly Putty. You will be able to make copies of importatnt documents and save it for later.
A sustainable bottle meant for holding water......... Hmm..I think there used to be this thing called glass. that's right. I still get my milk in glass bottles. I bet they can probably do the same with water. Until they come up with something that can be reused, like..I dunno plastic maybe?
Is it really that hard to reuse a plastic bottle?
Make me a bottle I can eat while I am drinking from it, and I might consider purchasing it.
Where did the old one go? Well: The Atari 2600 sits next to the N64 where both still get played on a weekly basis. That ancient mid 90's Nokia 191, waiting for Makezine to come up with a good "hack" for it.
I am not one of those people that throw "technology" out. It was sort of disgusting to see all of that. But as long as some if gets recycled..*shrug*

That was the name brand I was searching for.
They even have that magenta color.

Dont steal my idea.
The two or three koalas at our zoo have it made. A nice balmy 75 year round.
The article did not mention how the climate has affected drop bears. ;)
