Playing games

Being the gadget freak that I am I found a great game (unfortunately only for iPhone/iPad so far) called Rescue Reef. Not only is it a fun game to play, I think it's great for kids (and adults) to have fun and learn about the ocean at the same time.

Basically you start with a dead gray reef. You build a rescue and start bringing animals in to feed, heal and clean them. After breeding them or playing with them to make them happy they are released out into the ocean again. For each level there are new species to rescue, and for each species you rescue you get information about that species, like where they live and what they eat and more fun easy to grasp facts. You have "celebrities" sponsoring animals, and you get extra points for picking up bottles, plastic and other rubbish from the bottom.

For each level the surrounding reef gets more color and life.

Try it! It's fun!

Seriouslyorganic


Just discovered this chocolate from Seriouslyorganic, and it's sooo good. 72% cocoa, organic, vegan and Fairtrade. And there are many more flavours to try.....

I keep telling myself that because it's dark chocolate and that's healthy I can eat a whole bar at once (yes, by myself, what kind of a question is that?).

My precioussssssss........

All the social media mentioned yesterday are of course available as apps on your smart-phone too. If you haven't got a smart-phone yet..... What are you waiting for? I promise you'll love it and you'll be wondering what took you so long....

There are some great apps for keeping up with your organic life-style. These are just a few;


Don't ever print papers again. Share your documents with friends,
family, colleagues and business-partners. On your phone or on your computer.

Photos - so many apps to choose from;
Hipstamatic, Camera+, Pixlromatic,
Disposable, Instagram.

Norwegian app. Scan the barcode of a cosmetic product
and the app will tell you if that product contains
 ingredients that can mess with you hormones.

Chanel SS13 Paris

When Chanel showed their collection for Spring/Summer 2013 tonight at the Grand Palais they had a really creative setting.

I don't think it was intended to make a statement in the energy-debate, but it kind of does anyway. The runway itself is is painted to look like the models are walking on solar-panels. And take a look at the cool catwalk decorated with almost real size wind turbines.

Makes a powerful impression anyhow, doesn't it?



I really want this fab t-shirt...

Social media

I'm a social media geek and I use and explore all those fab social media sites for up to date information.

Twitter is my new drug and such a great source of information. Every minute, every day you can keep yourself updated with news, sports, fashion, politics, food, environment, health, economy, weather etc etc. You can interact with you favourite popstar, follow the race between Obama and Romney, watch Greenpeace trying to stop Gazprom or look at Anna Dello Russos beautiful outfits. What can possibly be better?

Twitter, blogs, Facebook, Google +, Flicker, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc etc. For inspiration, keeping up with friends, share ideas, getting hired, share your photos, share your stories -  you name it, they've got it!

A great way to be more environmentally friendly than buying newspapers that are outdated the minute they are distributed. And you get the news faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than newspapers and magazines with all that paper, ink and emissions during transportation.


Just perfect!
