Just saw the FAI submission video for Euro 2020 [above]. It’s just Failte Ireland’s ‘Meet in Dublin’ video from a couple of years ago [below] with some football scenes tacked on.
Seems a little strange.

Architect and graphic designer Colin Eaton makes unique, one-off cards from recycled, reused and repurposed bits and pieces, personalised to fit not only the occasion [the first card is called ‘Come Back Sun’], but also the characteristics and interests of the recipient.
The last one was specially commissioned for Ewok.

Inventor Izhar Gafni has built a bike called The Alfa with a virtually maintenance-free belt drive.
It weighs 9kg, can support the weight of three adults, cost between €7 and €9 to build and is entirely made of cardboard and other recycled materials. He sez:
The development to what you see today took three years. Two were spent just figuring out the cardboard complications–leading to several patents–and the last was spent converting a cardboard box on wheels to a relatively normal looking bike.
Gafni is currently looking to raise funds to put the Alfa into mass production.

The Eco-Amp ($8) made from recycled card, comes in flat packs of two easily assembled ‘amps’.
If you’re not happy with the sound, you could probably eat them.
Temporary Displacement by Australian sculptor Louisa Dawson. Gritty and rough on the outside, immaculately tiled on the inside.
It’s absurd, and yet we want one.
‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch.
Iconic. Copied, referenced and parodied to distraction for the best part of 117 years.
Behold: eight new recyclings, made from recycled materials, compliled by (who else?) 1800Recycling.
