Task1-TéaB

For my project, I decided to base my logo on the sixth permaculture principle, Produce No Waste. When coming up with design for the logo I wanted identify the meaning of “produce know waste” to me. When relating this principle to my everyday life, I know that one way my family and I exercise this concept is by creating and using a compost. Not only does composting enrich soil but it recycles kitchen and yard waste. Partaking in recycling, up-cycling and composting is super critical and makes a world of a difference. Even small efforts have large outcomes. The more people realize that everything we produce has value, the faster we will be able to identify how we use it. A short phrase to help designers remember this concept could be “Re-Purpose.” Riding on the lines that everything has a purpose, and everything can be given a new purpose, which coincides with the principle, producing no waste. Compost in particular is considered humane tech because people have created composts bins, and tons of other compost products to encourage the use of composting. That being said, it’s the advancement and progression that makes this humane tech, and people are continuing to create for efficient composting products. 

So, for my logo I wanted to show how we can find value in produce, and give it a new purpose. That being said I picked a banana peel that is growing a plant to represent the phrase “Produce No Waste,” or “Re-purpose, Re-Design.”
