Biodegradable umbrella can weather a storm
NEW YORK - Venture outside on a wet, windy day and chances are the streets will be littered with broken, abandoned umbrellas. It was on just such a day that New Yorker Pam Zonsius had the idea of designing theBRELLI, the world’s first biodegradable umbrella.

The Dutch Environmental Film Festival 2010 - A video and photo round up!
AMSTERDAM - It feels like it took place years ago already, but it most certainly didn’t! The Dutch Environmental Film Festival 3 - 6 June 2010 was a great success! There were three days of awesome films about our environment and superb international live music acts on each evening. The winner of the very first Golden Strawberry Award for Best Film was DIVE!
We’ll be releasing details of exactly how much money you all raised to make the cinemas eco friendlier over the next few. In the meantime, be sure to watch this video about the festival and take a look at our photostaken by the superb Tom van der Leij, Jelmer ten Hoeve, Daria Mnych and Christina Theisen!

EINDHOVEN - We told you Jagerland parties were fun and last night’s epic in Eindhoven was the cherry (or should that be strawberry) on the cake!

Photos will be online at the Jagerland website soon. In the meantime,
An oasis of calm in the workplace
AMSTERDAM - Some people have a gift for making others feel good. Francesca Polo is one of those people. I spent an hour and a half with her and left feeling relaxed and inspired – and all we did was talk. As I cycle home, I wonder what her clients must feel like after a yoga session of the same length.
Polo talks animatedly about what she does, but at the same time exudes a calm confidence. If this is the result of years of regular yoga practice, then she is a walking advert for her company Office Oasis. Founded in 2005, Office Oasis offers yoga, chair massage and coaching in the workplace.
Jagerland is a good place to be…
AMSTERDAM - As you know, Strawberry Earth loves a good party almost as much as we love doing great stuff for our planet! That’s why we want to give you a cheeky heads up about an upcoming party on 29 May in Het Stroomhuisje in Eindhoven. It’s part of the Jagerland tour and you can register for free tickets by visiting their site. And if you can’t make it on 29 May, the Jagerland website has plenty more information about upcoming events, music acts and tips on fun parties…
