Dutch supermodel Rianne ter Haken takes her clothes off for a better climate. This video is taped for the Global Day of Climate Action. While the one-day event was called 'the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history, Studio 4A knows that not everyone reads the newspapers. So they figured they would try to get the point across the best way we know how--with clothes, or really, with the lack of clothes. Decide yourself!
With the project 'Platform21 = Repairing' Platform21 aims to raise awareness of a mentality, a culture and a practice that not so long ago was completely integrated into life and the way we designed it. They have written a manifesto describing the benefits of fixing things and calling upon designers and consumers to break the chain of throwaway thinking.
So bring all your broken stuff, furniture, clothes and repair it! From 21st till 23th of August..

Strawberry Earth presents the first Dutch environmental film festival: Strawberry Earth at the Movies! Twelve of the latest and best films with an environmental theme are shown on June 5 and 6.
Several (world) premieres, Q&As with international directors and an after party with awesome DJs make the event complete. This all takes place at The Ketelhuis cinema in Amsterdam.
Strawberry Earth at the Movies will be opened by minister Jacqueline Cramer and alderman Marijke Vos on the 5th of June - World Environmental Day. French movie HOME - by director and photographer Yann Arthus-Betrand and Luc Besson - will have its world premiere this night. Next to that, the curators bring the English hit The Age of Stupid and its director Franny Armstrong to The Ketelhuis.
All Strawberry Earth events contribute directly to a greener world. The Ketelhuis save up 100% of the festival's profit to make their cinema eco-friendlier. Besides that, they also donate their savings on the energy bill to Greenpeace - for the next ten years! Of course, Kuyichi will be there to support this great event. You can check out movie trailers in the Kuyichi Van on the 6th of June.
On top of that, you also have the chance to win this recycled PET Kuyichi jacket!
This jacket is made out of 25 recycled plastic bottles. That's what we call reducing the waste belt in style! Click here for the complete festival programme.
