How about this for a fab recession busting unproduct digital idea?
Folksy are doing a thing called Upcycling. You take second hand / charity stuff and make it into something ‘new’ and desirable to be sold at an online auction starting on the 7th December. All proceeds from the auction will go to Sue Ryder Care.
That's good isn't it?
There will also be a winner - the person that makes the best thing in various categories. The winners get to display their work in the Sue Ryder Care Camden store for one month from the middle of Jan to the middle of Feb in a specially constructed Folksy set. That's a fantastic opportunity.
Find out more here.
That logo could do with some upcycling for a start.

William McDonough & Michael Braungart talk a lot about this concept for manufactured goods. I watched an interesting video with them on the Sundance channel. Can't remember the title, but great stuff though.

What's the point of this ?
Sorry - I don't mean to be obtuse - I just really want to know why they're doing it (Sue Ryder I mean).

Dear Sir,
I am a year 10 student at St Marylebone doing my ICT GCSE. I would like to know if I could have permission to use your "Upcycle Christmas" logo in my coursework. Thank you.
