Paper * People * Planet: Going Green Bananas
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007/03/paper-people-planet.html
Paper * People * Planet. Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Funny how life moves in cycles. About 15 years ago I started a little eco company in Singapore called Green Bananas that made a paper making kit for people to recycle their own paper at home. Green because I wanted people to know it's environmental bent but more likely. Because I was totally green to the cutthroat world of business and Bananas because everyone thought I was crazy to give up a good and stable job for what? Grateful awe that they did. W...

Paper * People * Planet: March 2007
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Paper * People * Planet. Saturday, March 31, 2007. A Spade, A Hoe and A Piece of Fertile Ground. Following from my previous post "One Billion Trees". I thought I'd really ought to take my own advice and start planting. No point preaching something if I wasn't prepared to do it myself. The slight hitch is that I live in an apartment and there are only are two 2.5 m by 1.7 m balconies. Not a lot of space for a tree. Sorry, let me rephrase that, not enough space for ANOTHER tree. The thing I can do at this ...

Paper * People * Planet: Handmade Paper
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007/04/handmade-paper.html
Paper * People * Planet. Thursday, April 5, 2007. Making your own paper. Can be a heady and therapeutic. Ride When you can actually see something that was trash transform into something useful, right before your eyes. My own journey on the crinkly road of paper started from my youthful need to do something to save the planet. And I wanted to literally see my efforts doing something positive. That's how I stumbled upon paper-making. This one is from yellow pages. A fun thing to do with printed paper i...

A tub or basin large enough to fit the sieve. 50g or so of waste paper. 1 Shred the waste paper and soak for at least 4 hours. Soak overnight if you plan to make paper the next morning. 8 Repeat ...

Paper * People * Planet: One Billion Trees
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007/03/one-billion-trees.html
Paper * People * Planet. Monday, March 26, 2007. I turned on the radio in the middle of a BBC interview last week. Owen Bennett-Jones was on with his programme called The Interview. Had no idea who he was talking to or what it was about until I heard "Plant a Billion Trees". Now that caught my imagination. It turned out to be an interview with Wangari. Nobel Peace Prize Winner and environmental activist whom I'd never heard of (shows you the depth of my. I listened on and was happy. Following is the BBC's.

Paper * People * Planet: Spaceship Earth
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007/04/spaceship-earth.html
Paper * People * Planet. Sunday, April 15, 2007. The first time I heard the term Spaceship Earth. It made an engaging and compelling picture in my mind. All the colours of humanity hurtling through black space, inextricably linked together like the crew on board The Starship Enterprise. With one life-support system, one deflector shield and one warp engine. Unfortunately, this Spaceship Earth, has to do without a captain, like Jean Luc Picard. Even, in his less heady macho moments, as our moral center.

Paper * People * Planet: Low Tech Paper Making Fun
http://paperpeopleplanet.blogspot.com/2007/04/low-tech-paper-making-fun.html
Paper * People * Planet. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Low Tech Paper Making Fun. One of the stumbling blocks for those of you wanting to recycle your paper trash is the inconvenience or the expense of getting a mould and deckle. You either have to buy a kit which would set you back by at least US$20 or make your own kit with 2 identical sized wooden frames from an art shop or framers, then staple gunning the mesh to one of them to make your mould. My Green Bananas Paper Maker. Would it work or wouldn't it?
