Beer Bricks
I've been thinking lately about how much we waste, and if what we buy was better designed how much good it could do.Take this Heineken bottle from the 60s.
"Mr. Heineken’s idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials."
Brilliant!
Granted, glass bottles may not be the best construction materials, but bow else could we re-engineer products and packaging to serve multiple purposes like this?

About Me
Blog of peter centofante: father, husband, brother, UX designer, freelance graphic designer, believer, realist and thinker (at least i'd like to think so.) This blog is a collection of my thoughts and things i find interesting.
I believe that ideas can change things. I think that when people are inspired by something, they rarely attempt to copy it, rather they use that spark towards their own goals, projects, and worldviews. In light of this, my goal is to share many ideas, in the hopes of making everything better.
Enjoy.
