It’s that time again. Time for us to seek out clever, inventive, ingenious green things to be included in this cycle of Sustainability’s Next Top Model.
Last year we had four all-consuming contenders try and win the hearts and votes of our community. Woolfiller, Sugru, Makedo and LFLECT went neck in neck in a fierce Facebook voting competition to win the crown and title of Sustainability’s Next Top Model and also £50,000 worth of promotion. Sugru in the end emerged the winner and we are now in the process of making a rather lovely video and marketing campaign for them.
This year we are at it again. With £50,000 worth of promotion on the table, we are seeking out the best inventions, creations, products or services known to humankind. Have you seen a really wonderful green product? Or know of a genius invention that might just change the world? Tell us who you think we should choose for this year’s competition.
