Your food can’t go everywhere exposed to the elements; it needs packaging. Unfortunately, that packaging often takes massive amounts of energy to create, and much of it doesn’t properly decompose. CHOW rated some common carriers on a scale from 1 (bad) to 5 (good).

I am excited to announce our upcoming CreativeMornings with Michael Surtees of DesignNotes fame. On friday May 8, Michael will talk on the topic of agile design, which is based on the process of incremental improvements in the design (what you start with and finish with tend to evolve over time)—typically it’s been used in software applications but is now starting to find it’s way into websites. Michael has ideas on how normal graphic designers or agency people might be able to use Agile Design in their process.

Interested in attending? Make sure to r.s.v.p via email quickly as we usually fill up within a few hours. Please tell us your name and what industry you’re in. (We will later on send you a confirmation email with all the necessary details for the event.) I am sorry but we’ve reached full capacity. CreativeMornings start at 8.30am and end at 10am. This event will be hosted at Daylife.

NEW: Follow CreativeMornings on twitter!

Breakfast will be generously sponsored by Core Industries, a DUMBO based strategic interactive, marketing, design and development company. Yay!
