Watch the first animation 'Life Pscycle-ology' now >
The Secret Life of Things projectis a series of short animated videos that explore the hidden environmental impacts of everyday things.
The project promotes life cycle thinking and environmentally sustainable decision making in design and product development. The animations are supported by an eco design resource pack which includes a selection of educational materials for design educators and businesses wanting to explore life cycle thinking and eco design.
The Secret Life of Things is a new and innovative approach to communicating and engaging people with sustainability. The resources draw on interactive environmental education and present a solutions based approach to integrating environmental decisions into the design and development of products.
The Secret Life of Things first animated video called Life Psychl-ollogy was launched along with the first educational resources on the 22 July 2010 at the Victorian EPA offices as part of the State of Design festival. Watch the animation here
> Eco Innovators Showcase Shop
Eco Innovators started the showcaseshop inside an old newsstand pillar in Melbournes CBD as a pop-up shop to promote locally designed and made eco-products. The project run from 28th October 2009 until April 2010.
The shop was set up to showcase local independent designers and design studios that have been engaging with sustainability in the development of their products and practice. The high profile CBD location meant that many shoppers stopped and started to engage with more sustainable products and consumption.
The showcase shop has been very successful in achieving its goals of promoting locale eco-designers and eco-designed products, encouraging people to reduce their consumption footprint, and generating discussion and advocating eco-design.
