They say it takes a village-or in this case a global village. We like to think of the idea greenhouse as the perfect nurturing environment for a community of thinkers to explore and develop ideas.

How does it work? We'll propose a topic or area of research, sow the seeds so to speak. Then we invite you to weigh in with your thoughts and ideas. The ideal outcome is that as a community we co-design sustainable solutions to the earth's most pressing issues.

Who knows? The discussion may inspire our next product range (or yours).    

At the end of every discussion, we'll put together the most salient conclusions in a newsletter you can easily reference and share.  

What the idea greenhouse isn't: This is not a blog. Your submissions will be reviewed before posting to keep the conversation focused and on-topic. This is not a place for self-promotion or self-serving communication. It is a community.

This is not the complaints department!

Our present topic is focused on the individual at home. The average American contributes about 40,000 pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere every year. It is possible through many simple steps to concievably reduce this by half. Not only does that hold the potential to reduce the individuals outgoings, but it would also, collectively, make a very significant difference to the nations Greenhouse gas production! What ideas do you have to contribute to reduce the average American's Greenhouse gas production?
