THE MAIN ISSUES
Environmental emergency in Borneo, Indonesia
Deforestation – bad effects for the environment
and the creatures living within it
The forest has been burned down, logged and
cleared, replaced with agriculture land
The wildlife habitat of the endangered species,
such as orangutans and elephants, has been
destroyed
Long-term bad impacts for the future“Only after the last tree has been cut, the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.” – Cree Indian Prophesy
THE PROBLEM SOLVER - BAMBOO
Bamboo is actually a perennial evergreen grass, not a tree
Can be used as the alternate material to replace timber wood
Renewable resources
Easy to grow in any kind of environment
Relatively low maintenance
The fastest growing plant on earth
Can be harvested in 3 – 5 years
Produce 30% more oxygen that the trees
Self-generating
Can be used for food sources, medicine, building and construction
materials, furniture, bedding, kitchen utensils, flooring (as strong as
the Oak), textiles, musical instruments, paper, etc.
STARE & FLARE
Green design, sustainable
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Environmental friendly, waste-conscious
manner
THE IDEAS
Provide alternate resources that give less
impact on the planet, such as bamboo
Preserve the ‘endangered’ materials
Research of other possible renewable
materials
THE CONCEPT
Provide customized goods (mainly from
bamboo) mixed with other organic and
natural materials and more personal services
THE PROJECTS
Divided into two phases:
1. Breeding, farming, harvesting with care
2. Producing into raw materials (for
housing), customized furniture, textiles,
food sources, medicine, paper, etc.
Work on goods and services, from simple
idea and materials, we turn it into
something big, unthinkable, and
unpredictable
The workers are the local or indigenous people
and we also have a community fair trade
program
Participate in a reforestation and rehabilitation
projects and support the environmental
movements and organizations
Collaborate with the governments, designers,
and creative people in creative industries; to
socialize and raise people awareness about the
future of our planet
HOW DO WE WORK
