The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage and extend the film’s impact. We amplify public discourse on a series of environmental, social and economic concerns and facilitate the growing Story of Stuff community’s involvement in strategic efforts to build a more sustainable and just world. Our on-line community includes over 150,000 activists and we partner with hundreds of environmental and social justice organizations worldwide to create and distribute our films, curricula and other content.
Probably old news to most design colleagues, but I thought I’d post it on the blog for keepsakes.

BoEl – an energy efficient ambient interface
This was a project done by my dear friend Sara Tunheden at the Interactive Institute in Stockholm.
BoEL is an experimental social ambient interface and web service that presents daily consumption figures to home owners and neighbours to promote joint savings and foster competitive energy saving behaviours. The service includes an ambient lamp that provides feedback on the energy consumption in the household and these interfaces are installed so that the neighbours can observe each others energy status.
This is one of the many projects the II is working on to spread awareness about energy consumption through design provocations and probes that affect behavior positively.
Oh, and I happened to play a cameo in her amazing video too! This is an edited version. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on the full version soon!
