Land transport accounts for almost 36% of all carbon emissions in New Zealand, and the number of cars per person in New Zealand (62 cars per 100 people), is the fourth highest in the world (after the USA, Italy, and Australia). Cycling, walking, and using public transport much more frequently can help clearing up our congested cities and lowering carbon emissions.

I forgot to tell you about this event coming up this weekend: Art in Action, a show of art and craft, is on at the Philosophy House, 33 Aro Street. I was there three years ago and was really fascinated by the artists making instruments on site, a harp maker, and a violin maker. There where a lot of pretty pictures too, and the coffee and food was, hmmm… it did the job. But I’ll definitely go this weekend, it’s so worth the $10 entrance fee.

Otters for Owen (or 'Quick Making')

It seems the Ponoko guys are really going in the right direction: making just got even easier now, with the introduction of Photomake. You don’t need a computer for your design anymore, no fancy schmancy vector programmes, just your imagination, paper and pen (and a camera). Congratulations, Ponoko!

Cool cool
Monday, September 29th, 2008On a completely magazine-unrelated note, I just got this sent from a friend of mine, and it’s probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen:

Taking over the country
Sunday, September 28th, 2008
We’re working on issue 4 already, and are pretty excited about it, and not just because it means we’re thinking about summer already. We’ve been talking to the good people at IMD, and they’re getting us stocked in places like Whitcoulls and Paper Plus and stuff. And we’re DOUBLING our print run! Holy Moley!
So, in celebration of World Sweet World taking making to the nation, we’re offering a special advertising deal for issue #4. If you take out an ad in World Sweet World before November 1, and get your friend to advertise too, then you’ll get 15% off both your ads. This applies to all ads, both in the sweet gallery section, and in the body of the mag. Have a look at our rate card for more info – we’d love to take you along for the ride with us. Please do pass this on to other people who you think might be interested too.

Issue 3 on felt

Hey there
We’ve finally had a moment to pop Issue 3 up on felt, for those of you who want to buy the mag there. Support two nice, crafty businesses in one fell swoop.

Hi all – well, you DEFINITELY should have received your subscription in the mail by now – here’s a little pic of the beauties before they left us – all packaged up in old photocopy paper wrapping. The wrapping was kindly supplied to us by our friendly printers, Lithoprint. They’re on the Enviromark programme, and seeing as the packaging their paper comes in isn’t recyclable, they saved it for us to re-use instead. Hoorah for collaboration! We wrapped the other half of the subs in run-up sheets of issue 2. The only thing about this great idea was that it took AGES to wrap them all. If anyone has ideas on how to re-use paper for packaging, that doesn’t take for blimmin ever, let us know.
