In this trendwatching podcast, Cathi Bond talks about Samsung’s new Restore cellphone. It’s cute! It’s green (literally and figuratively)! It’s a follow-up to its previous Reclaim phone. The Reclaim featured mostly corn-based bio plastics, and was mostly recyclable. With the Restore, it’s 84% recyclable, and the shell is made of more than 25% post-consumer recycled material.

Cathi also discusses Indonesia’s plan to get geothermal power from volcanoes (via Inhabitat)
Nora says it’s a sign of the times that New York’s Limelight, which began life as a church before becoming a much talked about nightclub is now set to be…a mall! A sign of the times, as shopping seems to be the new religion. That said, it does look pretty swell! (via JC Report)
Peter J,
Thanks for pointing out the short podcast! I had to delete the post and re-do, and your comment got deleted inadvertently. Sorry!
