Tap’d NY Reciclando Agua o mas bien, la botella.

Pancho — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:25:08 +0000

Todos bebemos agua embotellada. No queremos, sabemos que es malo para el medio ambiente, entendemos que “Polonia Springs” no es ni de Polonia ni de los manantiales – pero cuando hace calor y estamos corriendo, no podemos resistirlo.

Tapd NY tratar de alentar al público a rellenar y reutilizar la botella.

The Styrobot Wants to Rule Your Cups and Packaging [Styrofoam]

Pancho — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:45:00 +0000

There's really nothing great that can be done with Styrofoam other than not produce it in the first place, but in lieu of recycling it or throwing it away, one man and his son, inspired by this artwork, took 5 years worth of Styrofoam packaging and did the next most logical thing—built a giant robot.

Assembled from 5 main pieces sliced with a foam cutter and held together with silicon seal, the limbs fit the torso as if they're sitting on a shelf (requiring no additional adhesive for easy assembly/disassembly). Also of note: this styrobot only weighs 20 pounds. Just don't tell the neighbors, because they sorta think he's real. [KK via MAKE]

Saltasia luxury Salt Studio in Japan

Pancho — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:32:40 +0000

There’s still no shortage of Japanese seeking luxury experiences, especially when it comes to health and wellness. Japan’s aging society is still a wealthy one, and isn’t afraid to spend money on products and services that can enhance quality of life. Salt Studio Saltasia fits right into this category, creating stylish salt rooms to promote anti-aging and relaxation for women.

Saltasia uses hexagon-shaped, natural salt tiles on the floor, ceiling, and walls to create what feels like a honeycomb for relaxing. Behind the tiles are colored LED lights which, along with ambient music and sounds, diffuse smoothly and create a soothing experience for guests who can stretch, meditate, and let off stress.

Far from being a sauna (it’s only 41°C), the point is to be able to sweat without having to push yourself through an intense 90~100° session in normal dry sauna. Such relaxation doesn’t come cheap either, with joining fees ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 and $250 to $2,200 per month for four sessions. Saltasia is located in Omotesando, and is female-only at this point.
