Oh my gosh, I just loved this conversation with Monica and Cindy of Rapt Gift Wrap! Their business is fabric wrap, to reduce the paper waste from gift wrapping, and it's so beautiful! I thought the timing of this was perfect; hopefully will give folks time to think about gift waste before the rush.Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes are friends who started Rapt in Massachusetts to help reduce the paper waste in gift giving - the amount of paper after the holiday season fills dozens of FOOTBALL FIELDS, and they saw a problem and are doing something to try to fix it!One of my questions was is it appropriate to take the fabric wrap back to reuse it, or ask if someone will use it, and they have answers to that!

Unwrapping the Future: How Rapt's Reusable Fabric Wraps Revolutionize Gift Giving with Founders Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes

With the holidays approaching, and stores starting to stock up on all the Holiday trappings you may be feeling a little frustrated knowing the amount of waste generated from traditional gift wrapping methods, such as disposable paper and plastic bows!Believe me, you are not alone! Despite your efforts to give thoughtful gifts, the result you're hoping for is often overshadowed by the waste created during the wrapping process.In this episode, you'll hear from these amazing women entrepreneurs, just like us, who were feeling the same and decided to do something about it. My special guests Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes founded Rapt, a company focused on reducing waste through reusable fabric gift wrap. Monica, having experienced an ‘aha' moment while buying piles of wrapping paper, decided to make a change. She approached Cindy, a seasoned professional in the fabric industry and dear friend with her idea to create reusable wrapping paper.  With their combined skills, they revolutionized gift-wrapping, offering stunning fabric that doesn't end up in landfills after one use. Their passion for eco-consciousness fuels their endeavors in making their versatile and attractive Ralt products a household staple.More about Monica and Cindy:Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes met at the playground. With 7 children between them and 15 years of birthday parties and holidays, Monica and Cindy came to recognize how much wrapping waste is created at every event. So they teamed up to do something about it - Rapt fabric gift wrap changes a small habit to make a big impact for our children's future. Monica and Cindy tried many different ways to wrap with fabric - adding velcro, snap tape, attached ribbons - and found the Japanese solved it best with the art of Furoshiki. The custom of wrapping with cloth dates as far back as the 7th century and was originally called "tsutsumi." During the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the tsutsumi was regularly used at the great bathhouses built by the Shogun. Feudal lords who visited wrapped their clothing in family crest-printed tsutsumi to keep track of their belongings.Rapt is producing locally and dedicated to finding deadstock, reclaimed and remnant fabrics, yarns and ribbons whenever possible. In sourcing our fabrics it is also important that our Rapt sheets have the right feel, the right hand, the right look and the right detailing. We want to make an heirloom gift wrap sheet you can pass on to family and friends. We are working to keep Rapt as sustainable as possible - above and beyond eliminating wasteful paper wrapping - by working with local production, using scrap fabric and remnant yarn for our one-of-a-kind Rapt accents and also picking up and dropping off whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint. We believe a tiny change can make a big difference. It's YOUR PRESENT and OUR FUTURE! As a partnership, Monica and Cindy have found their different styles and backgrounds blend well as they started Rapt gift wrap. Monica O'Neil is a New England transplant with a youth spent in Chile, Venezuela and Morocco. Fluent in 3 languages with a Master's in French Literature, Monica spent a decade teaching at several area high schools. —--------------------------------------------------- Connect with Christine:Instagram: @christinebsantosWebsite: Wonder Boldly Thank you so much for listening to Wonder Boldly.

Segment 2, June 17th, 2023 What's the difference in a podiatrist & a pedorthist?  It's a question that many of us don't know the answer.  However, this segment helps clear this up as Kev Martin from Adrenaline Sports Marketing, rejoins the Carolina Outdoors. A podiatrist is a doctor that specializes in treating foot and ankle issues and problems.  Pedorthist are trained specialists that creates or modifies shoes, socks, and orthotics that aid in recovery from foot issues and problems.  Currently, Martin has worked in the footwear industry for the past thirty years.  He spent time as a certified pedorthist & continues his career representing, counseling & advising in the category. He talks about the fashion, function, support, & protection that makes up the industry.  But what are people looking for?  Martin says that they are looking for the ability to be more connected with lateral movement & the 100 moving parts within the foot (28 bones, 30 joints, & muscle ligaments, & tendons that make up the foot). So is fitting a science & art.  Kev Martin aptly answers this question.  Recognizing the measuring of foot & the feel of the shoe are what happens between a "sit & fit" store like Jesse Brown's.  Don't buy footwear by the numbers.  Respect what your feet feel because from the foundation of the shoe affects your ankles, knees, hips, & back.  We learn about the bones in the foot (there isn't one called the arch bone) & what happens with plantar fascia. Kev speaks to the recognition of getting back to basics.  One of the largest outsole manufacturers in the world, Vibram, has a brand called Five Fingers that brings footwear back to minimalism.  It garners more connectivity & strengthens the muscles & tendons in the foot.  It and another Vibram brand, Furoshiki, have had success in minimalistic footwear. Thank you to Kev Martin from Adrenaline Sports Marketing for joining us on the Carolina Outdoors.

Noël : Những món quà “cũ người mới ta” trong kinh tế tuần hoàn

TẠP CHÍ XÃ HỘI

Mùa Giáng Sinh 2022 khá đặc biệt tại Pháp, lạm phát khiến vật giá leo thang và người dân được kêu gọi tiết kiệm năng lượng. Rất nhiều ý tưởng được đưa ra để thích nghi với tình hình mới mà vẫn giữ ấm không khí Noel. Hầu hết các thành phố dùng bóng đèn tiết kiệm năng lượng trang trí cây thông. Nhiều gia đình vẫn tiếp tục truyền thống trang trí sân vườn trước nhà, nhưng giảm thời gian chiếu sáng. Và ngày “đổi đồ chơi” được nhân rộng trên khắp nước Pháp ngay từ giữa tháng 11. Thành phố Cachan, ngoại ô phía nam Paris dành ngày thứ Bẩy 10/12 để trao đổi đồ - Troc de jouets. Không ngại cái rét 0°C, rất nhiều gia đình đã đến tham gia, cho thấy thành công của sự kiện. Bà Nathalie Michaut, phụ trách Nghiên cứu - thực hiện Cảnh quan và Phát triển bền vững, thành phố Cachan, giải thích với RFI Tiếng Việt : « Nguyên tắc là mang đồ chơi đến góp, mỗi món đồ chơi đổi một phiếu và lấy phiếu đó đổi một món đồ khác. Chúng tôi chấp nhận cả xe trượt trottinette, đồ cải trang, thậm chí cả một chiếc ghế cao nữa. Mục đích là tái sử dụng, cho tất cả các món đồ đó vòng đời thứ hai. Ngoài ra, vào thời điểm tương đối khó khăn như hiện nay, chúng tôi cũng muốn giúp đỡ những người gặp khó khăn. Tất cả những món đồ còn lại cuối ngày không có người lấy sẽ được gửi cho các hiệp hội, như cửa hàng tương ái của hội Emmaüs, hoặc hội Mine và các trung tâm văn hóa xã hội. Vì thế không có phí phạm, tất cả các món đồ đều tìm được vòng đời thứ hai. Chúng tôi có một ngày thu thập đồ vào thứ Tư trước đó để chuẩn bị cho ngày đổi đồ hôm nay, như có thể thấy những chiếc bàn đầy đồ ở đằng kia. Hôm nay, cũng có rất rất nhiều người mang đồ đến. Giờ là buổi trưa và vẫn còn rất nhiều đồ trên bàn. Điều tuyệt vời là kho đồ liên tục được thay đổi trong ngày. Kể cả đến cuối ngày vẫn còn có rất nhiều lựa chọn ». “Cũ người mới ta” Một phụ nữ đi cùng với hai người con tuổi thiếu niên đang chăm chú nhìn những món đồ chơi và sách bày trên bàn. Cậu bé không tìm được món đồ nào ưng ý, nhưng cùng mẹ và em gái, đã chọn được vài món quà cho người thân : « Tôi mang đến 10 món đồ sáng nay, toàn là đồ chơi, người mẹ cho biết. Hai con của tôi đã 14 và 12 tuổi, nên chúng tôi có những đồ chơi tầm 5-6 tuổi mà các cháu không dùng nữa, hoặc cũng có 2, 3 đồ chơi chúng tôi có trùng nhau ở nhà. Sáng nay tôi đã đổi lấy 2 hay 3 món đồ thì phải, một trò chơi sudoku hài hước có thể làm quà cho một cậu của các cháu. Chúng tôi cũng thấy nhiều đồ bảo vệ cho chơi roller và một trò chơi tập thể. Giờ thì chúng tôi đang xem cuốn sách này. Đây là một cuốn sách ảnh song ngữ tiếng Anh - Nhật. Vì bố của các cháu nói tiếng Nhật khá sõi, có thể chúng tôi sẽ lấy cuốn này. Sẽ rất thú vị khi học những từ tiếng Nhật này ! Giờ chúng tôi vẫn chưa xem hết. Tôi không nghĩ sẽ tìm được những món đồ chơi cho các cháu cỡ tuổi con tôi, nhưng dù sao vẫn có thể tìm được nhiều món quà khác ».  Lạm phát gia tăng nên đồ chơi cũng bị tăng giá, trung bình hơn 6% và thường là những “hy sinh” đầu tiên đối với một số người tiêu dùng. Một số người có thể tìm thấy những đồ chơi có giá trị lớn trong những sự kiện như vậy, để thay đổi kho đồ chơi của con nhỏ hoặc để làm quà. Điều quan trọng là tất cả đồ chơi tìm được chủ mới, tiếp tục “sứ mệnh” trong một gia đình mới. « Đây là lần thứ hai trong năm nay, chúng tôi tổ chức đổi đồ chơi. Lần trước là vào Ngày các Hiệp hội dịp năm học mới với tinh thần thực tiễn tiện lợi. Trẻ con lớn nhanh, bộ đồng phục võ thuật thành quá ngắn, các em cần bộ lớn hơn. Nguyên tắc là như thế, đổi một bộ đồng phục lấy một bộ khác. Hoặc các em đổi môn thể thao thì có thể đổi một bộ đồng phục judo lấy một bộ đồ bơi chẳng hạn, hoặc dụng cụ cưỡi ngựa hay những đồ khác ». Ngoài những sự kiện được địa phương đứng ra tổ chức, một số thương hiệu siêu thị lớn (Leclerc) mở cửa hàng đồ đã qua sử dụng. Nhiều trang web đổi đồ cũng được lập làm trung gian giữa hai bên. Nhiều cửa hàng ký gửi cũng nhận thấy xu hướng mua đồ đã qua sử dụng làm quà gia tăng. Bà Nathalie Michaut, cùng các tình nguyện viên, hài lòng về thành công của những sự kiện kiểu này. Thành phố Cachan có ý định mở rộng sang nhiều lĩnh vực khác. « Hiện giờ, sự kiện trao đổi đồ chơi do thành phố tổ chức và chỉ diễn ra một ngày, để có thể huy động đủ tình nguyện viên cho ngày này. Nhưng nếu có quy mô lớn hơn thì có thể chúng tôi sẽ kéo dài vài ngày, ví dụ hồi tháng 10, các tình nguyện viên đã tổ chức bốn ngày trao đổi quần áo. Ý tưởng được đưa ra và ngày càng nhiều người hưởng ứng. Năm ngoái (2021) có 300 đồ chơi được mang đến, thì năm nay có ít nhất 500-600 món đồ và vẫn chưa hết ngày. 500 món đồ được mang đến, nhưng có những người mang đến 5 hoặc 10 món đồ. Chúng tôi nhận được rất nhiều đề nghị khác về nhiều chủ đề khác nhau mà người dân thành phố quan tâm. Vì thế sẽ còn có nhiều buổi trao đổi đồ về những chủ đề khác ». Một Giáng Sinh không rác thải - “Noel zéro déchet” Ngoài ý nghĩa kinh tế, vật chất, ngày đổi đồ còn nhằm mục đích chống lãng phí, giảm rác thải, đặc biệt là vào dịp lễ cuối năm. Thành phố Cachan có thể trông cậy vào hai hiệp hội tổ chức hướng dẫn tái chế tại chỗ. « Trong ngày còn có chương trình hoạt động do Nhà Môi trường và hội Accorderie (mạng lưới trao đổi dịch vụ giữa người dân cùng khu phố) phụ trách. Một chương trình theo chủ đề “Sửa chữa Giáng Sinh” nhằm mục đích không có rác thải vào Giáng Sinh. Chương trình thứ hai là hướng dẫn dùng vải gói quà, theo nghệ thuật Furoshiki của Nhật Bản. Trước đó, chúng tôi đã thu gom ga trải giường, các loại vải, khăn trải bàn để có thể bọc quà mà mọi người đổi trong ngày hôm nay. Đây là tất cả vải mà chúng tôi đã thu được, có đủ mầu sắc rất đẹp. Các cụ bà ở đây giúp bọc món quà đổi ở phòng bên kia hoặc hướng dẫn cách làm. Điều thú vị ở đây là vừa có quà được gói độc đáo, vừa biết được thêm là có thể tận dụng vải và tránh sử dụng giấy gói quà dùng một lần ».  Bà Brigitte Andrieux, hội l'Accorderie thành phố Cachan, cùng với một tình nguyện viên khác đang tận tình hướng dẫn một phụ nữ cách gói quà theo Furoshiki. Bên cạnh tờ giấy giải thích nghệ thuật lâu đời này là những gói quà được bọc theo nhiều kiểu khác nhau, rất đẹp và độc đáo. « Đây là gian nghệ thuật gói quà Furoshiki, bà Brigitte Andrieux giải thích. Furoshiki là một loại hình nghệ thuật Nhật Bản có từ đầu thế kỷ thứ 8, lúc đầu chỉ có những tu sĩ sử dụng vải bọc quần áo và đồ quý giá, sau này trở thành nghệ thuật bọc và tặng quà. Loại hình nghệ thuật truyền thống này dùng vải rất tốt và in hình rất đẹp. Có những kiểu gói quà cho đám cưới hoặc cho những sự kiện truyền thống. Thường ở Nhật Bản, khi người ta tặng một món quà, món quà đó có thể không có giá trị lớn, nhưng việc bọc nó trong một tấm vải đẹp đã mang lại giá trị cho tặng phẩm. Vì thế, hoặc người Nhật để lại tấm vải muốn tặng, hoặc họ lấy lại tấm vải bọc quà vì đôi khi chúng có giá trị rất lớn. Furoshiki có thể bọc sách, bọc chai, hoặc bất kỳ món đồ nào. Có rất nhiều cách bọc khác nhau, như hình bông hoa này chẳng hạn, rất dễ chịu, rất vui mắt và hơn hết là tránh mua những cuộn giấy, rồi dùng xong vứt đi ». Bà Brigitte Andrieux cho biết đã theo một khóa học hai tiếng ở Paris. Theo bà, không quá khó để nắm được nghệ thuật này. Không chỉ dùng vải gói quà tặng, bà thường xuyên đi chợ với một mảnh vải trong tay, sau vài động tác thắt nút, đã hóa thành chiếc nải gọn nhẹ và chắc chắn. Việc này có ý nghĩa rất lớn để bảo vệ môi trường, tránh lãng phí : « Việc này rất quan trọng, chúng ta thấy mô hình kinh tế tuần hoàn ngày càng xuất hiện nhiều. Việc đó cho phép tái sử dụng vải, bất kể mầu gì, chỉ cần là vải bông, và tránh được việc mua các cuộn giấy rồi vất vào sọt rác sau mùa lễ. Cách bọc quà này cũng rất hay cho bất kỳ ai có vải ở nhà, chỉ cần cắt thành những miếng hình vuông, sau đó là (ủi) vải cho phẳng phiu để món quà tặng trông đẹp mắt. Những người đến đây tùy thích dùng loại vải mà họ muốn có sẵn ở đây. Những tình nguyện viên chúng tôi mang đến rất nhiều, vừa cho phép chúng tôi dùng để gói quà, vừa để cho họ thoải mái sử dụng và cũng giúp họ hiểu được rằng có thể làm khác thay vì sử dụng giấy bọc quà ».  Không chỉ có những người có đồ mang đổi mới được tham gia sự kiện, nhiều người, như người dân ở xã Marmoutier, tỉnh Hạ sông Rhin, miền đông Pháp chẳng hạn, có thể đóng góp bằng bánh quy Bredele đặc trưng Giáng Sinh của vùng Alsace, hoặc bánh kẹo cho trẻ em. Theo hội GYM Marmoutier tổ chức sự kiện, mục đích chính là tạo không khí Giáng Sinh đầm ấm, tương ái giữa các gia đình và khuyến khích tái sử dụng đồ dùng. Những món đồ chơi còn lại cuối ngày có thể được tặng cho các hiệp hội hoặc gửi lại cho chính chủ. Khái niệm trao đổi và cách tiêu dùng này ngày càng thu hút đông đảo người dân Pháp vì vừa tiết kiệm, giúp cân đối ngân sách, vừa bảo vệ môi trường. Các gia đình có thể loại bỏ được những đồ dùng không cần thiết mà không cảm thấy áy náy vì lãng phí mà lại có được món đồ họ cần. Người mua thì có thể tìm được niềm vui với số tiền rất nhỏ. Một người mẹ trẻ, khi trả lời đài truyền hình France 3 ngày 22/11, cho rằng “Không có gì phải xấu hổ khi sử dụng hoặc mua đồ đã qua sử dụng làm quà”.

Dimore Studio, fondé par les designers Emiliano Salci et Britt Moran, met à l'honneur des meubles bariolés dans un intérieur rempli où s'associent objets design et objets sentimentaux. De là, les géants de l'ameublement suivent la tendance et même les catalogues d'IKEA s'en emparent. Mais d'où vient cette envie de maximalisme ? Comment je fais pour apporter du maximalisme dans mon intérieur ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Maële Diallo.

What is vlogmas? Thanks for asking!Well, there you have it, Christmas 2020 has come and gone faster than you can say “socially distanced celebrations! Some influencers will nevertheless be relieved to take some time off, after a full month of Vlogmas. The idea is to post a video per day from December 1st through to Christmas, like an Advent calendar. Sometimes this practice can extend through to the New Year. So if you love vlogs and love Christmas too, well this is perfect for you.Beauty and lifestyle Youtuber Ingrid Nilsen is credited with creating the tradition back in 2011, when she was known as Missglamorazzi. At the time, daily vlogging was relatively rare and the project was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Since then however Vlogmas has become a real phenomenon, with online content and searches growing year-on-year. What’s the idea then - festive-themed vlogs? Since Vlogmas first appeared, December has become an important month for influencers. It’s like a marathon for vloggers, in particular for lifestyle Youtubers. Every day is a new immersion into the influencer’s daily life, more or less around the theme of Christmas, taking in activities like buying and putting up decorations, last-minute shopping and of course unwrapping gifts.Some posts get hundreds of thousands of views and a simple search for “Vlogmas” on Youtube yields a seemingly endless number of results. It sure sounds like a lot of work during the holiday season! What’s in it for the influencers themselves then?

Qu'est-ce que le Furoshiki ? Merci d'avoir posé la question ! Le Furoshiki, c'est l'art japonais d'emballer des objets avec du tissu ! La tradition a plus d'un millénaire et était utilisée par la noblesse japonaise pour envelopper des objets précieux. Littéralement, on peut traduire “furoshiki” par “tapis de bain”... Quand ce mot est inventé, c'est pour désigner un tissu avec lequel les Japonais emballent leurs vêtements quand ils se rendent aux bains publics. Avec l'arrivée des machines à coudre on l'utilise de plus en plus, pour transporter ses courses ou son repas. Jusqu'à l'arrivée de ces satanés sacs en plastique au milieu du 20è siècle… Le plastique a-t-il eu la peau du Furoshiki ? C'est ce qu'on a cru, mais c'était sans compter sur la prise de conscience environnementale. Depuis le début des années 2000, le furoshiki opère un retour en grâce au Japon. Le ministère de l'Environnement japonais le promeut depuis 15 ans et a même publié un guide sur les pliages possibles : de l'Otsukai Tsutsumi, au Katake futuro, en passant par le Yotsu Musubi, il y en a pour toutes les formes et tous les goûts. Le Furoshiki est-il pratiqué ailleurs qu'au Japon ? Comment fonctionne exactement le Furoshiki ? Pourrait-il être le papier cadeau de l'avenir ?

What is Furoshiki? Thanks for asking!In case you haven’t noticed, it’s Christmas Eve today, which means it’s time for the annual custom of last-minute gift wrapping. If you’re feeling creative, here’s an eco-friendly technique which dates back to 8th century Japan: Furoshiki wrapping.Furoshiki is the art of wrapping objects in fabric, which was first used by Japanese nobles to protect valuable objects. The word literally translates as “bath spread”, as people carried their clothes in such fabrics when going to public baths. When sewing machines were invented, the practice became more and more common, for transporting shopping items or food. Until plastic bags came along in the 20th century, that is.Is Furoshiki another victim of those damn plastic bags then?That seemed to be the case, but increasing awareness of environmental issues has seen a furoshiki revival since the turn of the century. The Japanese Minister for the Environment has been promoting it officially for some time now, even publishing a guide on various wrapping techniques such as the Otsukai Tsutsumi, Katake futuro and Yotsu Musubi.Great, I just wish I understood Japanese!

This second podcast from the three part series recorded at the recent Outdoor Show in July 2014 at Friedrichshafen in Germany starts to look in more detail at some innovation and development which I'm sure will be of interest to many fans of the outdoors. Vargo Outdoors are a US brand which have become well known for their sleek and simple designs of products using primarily Titanium. Which is lightweight, durable, hypoallergenic and a material which will never wear out. In this interview we touch on 3 new products, a super sleek Titanium Hip Flask, Titanium Running Spikes and the re-introduction of an external (Titanium) frame based rucksack system. Well worth a look. The Five Fingers barefoot shoe based product has taken the outdoors world by storm. First in the US and now working it's way into the UK market as more and more people try and like this groovy shoe which comes in funky colours and has many applications. The latest product to gain attention of everyone at the show was the Furoshiki concept shoe. A clever injection of rubber compound into material which basically creates an stretchy, wrap around foot sole. You need to see it to understand! Although it isn't a cycling based show, it was good to see a handful of brands there with products supporting this enthusiast. Quality luggage was the order of the day, as there is obviously need to a waterproof but more business like storage system for business commuters. Ortlieb were displaying a new more vibrant colour range of their traditional 'classic' products along with a new 'commuter' selection which looked like they would really hit the spot in this market. Don't forget all these items can be seen in more detail on the The Outdoors Station website or on our YouTube Channel. http://youtu.be/t-jY6xedoFk
