We were disappointed to say the least. We watched as the DCP workshop leader finish the bamboo in somewhat of a creative way, but with toxic paints and other finishes. The fumes alone drove us away from coming any closer. Hmmm...maybe someone should give the Design Center of the Philippines a little workshop on eco-friendly products and practices.
However, there is still light at the end of tunnel. This is where we come in: we saw this as the perfect situation/direction to step into and become pro-active about, and one that could be the most influential. We see that our outside perspective and knowledge of sustainable practices can benefit the market place a great deal. By influencing companies such as Boysen (the largest paint manufacturer, and most used brand in the Philippines) to evaluate their products' ecological and health affects, and invest in the research, production and marketing of an eco-friendly line of products, the road to sustainable growth and development will become much easier. See the blog below for an insightful look into this subject.
