If you see it in person, praise the behavior in front of everyone. Explain why you like it, explain why it’s important, explain what it could become. And as soon as you can find a computer, send an email to their bosses and copy the right-doers.

I’ve written in the past about Enchanted Objects, items that elicit an emotional response when we use them. There’s a pill bottle that glows when it’s time to take your medication, an umbrella that lets you know if it’s going to rain that day, and best of all, the proverbial wallet that gets harder to open as you approach your monthly budget. On the one hand these objects are really just a part of the Internet of Things.

A while back I wrote about CityTree, a moss filled bench that could provide the same environmental impact of planting 275 trees. Now it seems we’re set for a moss filled encore thanks to new tires from Goodyear that come coated with moss. An innovation that could have an even larger environmental impact. As Futurism reports, “The concept behind new tires, named Oxygene, is unique — it involves embedding living moss within the tires’ sidewalls.
