CocolicoEach day, one green design.
Image for the article The Jungle Book, the real version

A picture worths a thousand words, says the adage. In the case, let’s say, you want to warn people about the urgent need to green the planet, what would you draw? If you lack ideas, there’s a modern version of the adage: A real object worths a thousand pictures. The Jungle Book is a pressbook which is bound with a cover made of a special paper containing seeds. Receivers have to take care of it to see it greening day after day. Those books just have one inconvenient: Writings get harder and harder to read. But receivers get the point by that time. (via adverbox)
