tuesday feature :: greenaid seedbomb initiative.

ok let's be serious, who doesn't love a seed bomb?! designers daniel phillips + kim karlsrud from COMMONstudio have come up with a rad and innovative way to make seed bombing a cinch for all. they've converted vintage gumball machines into seed bomb dispensers to encourage community engagement and green space in urban environments. the seed bombs are made out of a mixture of clay, compost, and seeds, created to be thrown into forgotten grey spaces like sidewalk cracks! within about a week or so, up comes green goodness!

currently, danny and kim are working to place 12 more machines in under-served communities throughout L.A. and beyond. to fund the effort, they are using a sweet website called kickstarter which allows people like you + me to make small contributions toward creative projects. the crazy thing is, kickstarter has an "all-or-nothing" policy which means if they don't reach their goal by the deadline (july 3rd!), they lose everything (no money changes hand). they have a bit to go so please help out in any way! no contribution is too small--whether you spread the word through your blog, twitter, or facebook, or talk to people in your church or community! what are you waiting for!? let's go!
