Do the Green Thing - The Old Thing Wrap

[ 00:39 ]

Dear Green Thing, if you wrap a granny, do you need to use porous wrapping paper? Regards, Janet Mapplethorpe. Dear Janet, the granny is meant as a metaphor for an old phone or ipod or typewriter or book or jacket or hat or long playing record, but if you do want to give a granny for Xmas, yes, use porous wrapping paper. Love from Green Thing. by Ben and Greg of Partizan London

Do the Green Thing - Touching the Stairs
Stair-climbers James, Jo and Pete risk their lives by trying to reach the third floor. It's a story of guts and sacrifice; a story of genuine heroes who don't know the meaning of the word 'lift' - or do they? Thanks to the brilliant Michael Wright who wrote and directed the whole bloomin' thing, and to Partizan London who kindly produced it. Director Michael Wright lovingly recreated this famous story of a harrowing climb to the 3rd floor of an office block. James is played by Rob Whitelock, Pete by Euan Wilson and the tragic character of Jo is played by Amy Whitehouse. The hugely atmospheric music was written by Michael Mertens and the video was produced and post-produced by Partizan London. Thankfully, no cast or crew were injured during the making of this hazardous video.

New in New York Ep 10:eCycling
In New York City, it's very common to see old computers, monitors, keyboards, television sets, phones, and other discarded electronic equipment on the sidewalks. As the world becomes more and more aware of the importance of taking care of our planet, so too must we become aware of the dangers of dumping this kind of refuse into landfills. Old electronics should be recycled carefully and properly disposed of. Which is why it's great to see New Yorkers becoming more aware of the importance of eCycling, or recycling electronic goods. More and more often, organizations like the Mac Store in Brooklyn and eRevival are putting ecycling events together. This month, The Resident from http://www.theresident.net went to check out one of those in her native Brooklyn. Check it out!
