[Part of my challenge to give something away every day for 29 days, again]
Barent, Green Drinks organizer, also is a green design expert and teaches a sustainable packaging class at the Art Institute of California. Yesterday, the students had their final presentation — and Summer and I sat in as guest critics.
Each student presented 3 different eco-product packaging ideas for RadioShack products — some of which were really innovative and professional-looking! All was great except one aspect: It all kicked off at an hour I rarely experience: 7:30 am….
This is the first gift of time from me in this challenge! Thanks to Barent for inviting me — and for the Clif bars and for lunch at Mrs Winston’s Green Grocery post-critique.

I love the cardboard battery boxes. Was RadioShack a sponsor of the program and are they actually looking to green their packaging? I’ve love us to get away from plastic blister packs.

No — RadioShack wasn’t a sponsor — The class just used them as an example to work from. Would be great if they took some of these ideas though –
