These Stools Are Deceptively Strong

Hey SuperForesters,

Check out designer Anthony Dann’s cool cardboard stools! From the website: “Taking advantage of the deceptive strength of triangular folding, the designs are engineered to withstand all the rigors of heavy use.” Yes, cardboard stools = deceptively strong!

These designs won the 2007 Launch Pad award for Sustainability.

seatThe materials are chosen for their recycled and recyclable content, and manufacture is local as a social and environmental choice.

The Egg Carton Jewellery Box

Hey SuperForesters,

I bought a six pack of eggs tonight at the supermarket. As I loaded each of the eggs into my fridge’s egg compartment, I took one look at the sorry old empty carton and decided it needed a new use. Behold, the egg carton jewellery box! The egg holes make lovely homes for necklaces, and the lid side houses rings to a tee.

Love to you all,

Cardboard Love in a Digital World

Okay so I know this is really really sappy and girly but considering the fact that exactly 80% of the people who have filled out the SuperForest Survey so far are lady SuperForesters (Come on, guys! Gentlemen SuperForesters are waaay behind!), I figured I could get away with posting this.

Cardboard love is a website that is home to hundreds of sweet little love notes a guy named Joey writes for his girlfriend, Maria. And he writes those little notes on pieces of cardboard. Now, when I first read about this, I was a bit of a skeptic. I mean, so much of this idea could turn out to be incredibly corny (and it very well may still be…) but when I visited the site and read his words, I couldn’t help but let out a big, “Awwwwwww!!!!”

So now it’s our turn. Make someone’s day by telling them how special they are to you. Express yourself! Maybe even give them a bit of validation! Because if Joey can make us smile without us even knowing him, imagine the smiles you can create by giving out these sort of messages to the people that are close to you. In the end, it’ll probably make your day, too!

And as a simple reminder…

It’s true!!!!

Love,
SuperForester Carla
