Cool video of very smart Swedish project. The vid was posted almost a year ago but it’s new to me. The initiative was started by Volkswagen.
We believe that the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The fun theory.

FLOWmarket™ is a supermarket selling consumer awareness. I was lucky enough to visit the FLOWmarket during my visit to Copenhagen in July. At first glance the supermarket-as-artwork (coined by BoingBoing in June) is just part of the exhibition of the Danish Design Centre. I was quite surprised to see that I could actually purchase the ‘products’ right off the shelf.
I was in great need of some holistic thinking, so I bought 5kg. After that, I got so excited that I turned into a regular shopaholic, showcasing some serious consumerism in an art center trying to challenge this 21st century disease. Besides the holistic thinking, I ended up with cans of meaningfulness and inner calmness, a bottle of clean tap water, a carton of clean air and jars filled with spam killers, ups and downs, how to feel oneself and peace.
I feel so much better. Highly recommended!
