Found this website dedicated to helping designers become more environmentally aware. From design to paper choice to printers, inks and finishes, the website has lots of information on how to make your projects greener. The website also has a section of case studies, of which one really grabbed my attention.
thomas.mathews 'Ten Ways Design Can Fight Climate Change'.

Great piece of work exploring some of the themes I wish to look at.
I particularly like the V&A Megalith structure promoting interactivity on these discarded sheets. Metallic ink though... lets hope they were vege-based or perhaps this piece is a little contradictory.
I think the junk-mail envelopes are effective but at the same time not at all. I was considering my-self what could be done with all the junk-mail you receive, could these pieces of trash in-turn serve a purpose? Here it seems so... however how graphically pleasing are they really? Whats to say you won't just throw the envelope away thinking its still junk-mail?
www.thomasmatthews.com/ Also worth a look, some interesting projects. I keep seeing old posters being screen-printed over, I think visually it looks great and like the idea of the piece having history. Perhaps related themes could be printed over on greetings cards. Could you re-use a Christmas card? Set up a site where old greetings cards could be sent in and re-used? Use of foreign cards, again I like the idea that the card has history and this could almost make the card quite unique.
On the theme of cards. See my re-nourish post.
