earth block eco-friendly LEGOs

مدت‌هاست دارم به این اتود فکر می کنم؛ به این که چرا ما خونه هامون رو درست مثل لگوهای اسباب بازی نمی سازیم؟با قطعاتی بزرگ‌تر و متنوع تر اما بدون سازه های چنانی فولادی و بتنی ؛ بدون مسیرهای غیرقابل بازگشت ساخت و ساز. مثل یک بازی؛ یک عمل شادی آور. چرا خود افراد خانواده نتونن با هم‌کاری هم خونه شون رو بالا ببرن؟
نه که جواب این چراها و نشدن ها رو ندونم ها! اما همون نگاهی که برای من امروز به این چراها پاسخ می ده، همون نگاه می گه : "می شه! "
این لگوهای زیستی طبیعی داغ دلم رو تازه کرد.
'earth blocks' are composed of waste and renewable natural materials
'earth blocks' by japanese design studio colors tokyo bring an aspect of sustainability to LEGOs, composed out of compressed natural materials into the classic stackable shape. the pieces are formed from natural materials-- cedar bark scraps, coffee beans, sawdust, or green tea leaves-- that have been blended with polypropylene in order to keep rigid. produced in just one size (1.25 by 5/8 by 5/8 inches), 'earth blocks' are slightly softer than their LEGO counterparts, but feature the same ability to snap together for building. sets of the bricks are sold through the guggenheim museum.

each line has its own colour and even smell based on the materials out of which it was manufactured
