1. STARE & FLARE

2. THE MAIN ISSUES  Environmental emergency in Borneo, Indonesia  Deforestation – bad effects for the environment and the creatures living within it  The forest has been burned down, logged and cleared, replaced with agriculture land  The wildlife habitat of the endangered species, such as orangutans and elephants, has been destroyed  Long-term bad impacts for the future “Only after the last tree has been cut, the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.” – Cree Indian Prophesy

3. THE PROBLEM SOLVER - BAMBOO  Bamboo is actually a perennial evergreen grass, not a tree  Can be used as the alternate material to replace timber wood  Renewable resources  Easy to grow in any kind of environment  Relatively low maintenance  The fastest growing plant on earth  Can be harvested in 3 – 5 years  Produce 30% more oxygen that the trees  Self-generating  Can be used for food sources, medicine, building and construction materials, furniture, bedding, kitchen utensils, flooring (as strong as the Oak), textiles, musical instruments, paper, etc.

4. STARE & FLARE  Green design, sustainable  Reduce, reuse, recycle  Environmental friendly, waste-conscious manner THE IDEAS  Provide alternate resources that give less impact on the planet, such as bamboo  Preserve the ‘endangered’ materials  Research of other possible renewable materials THE CONCEPT  Provide customized goods (mainly from bamboo) mixed with other organic and natural materials and more personal services THE PROJECTS  Divided into two phases: 1. Breeding, farming, harvesting with care 2. Producing into raw materials (for housing), customized furniture, textiles, food sources, medicine, paper, etc.  Work on goods and services, from simple idea and materials, we turn it into something big, unthinkable, and unpredictable  The workers are the local or indigenous people and we also have a community fair trade program  Participate in a reforestation and rehabilitation projects and support the environmental movements and organizations  Collaborate with the governments, designers, and creative people in creative industries; to socialize and raise people awareness about the future of our planet HOW DO WE WORK
