If you ever engage in online shopping (or even if you don’t), you probably recognize how ubiquitous and space-cluttering cardboard packaging is. But what if every cardboard box you got from Amazon [7] [5] came embedded with tiny seeds – so that you could plant your cardboard boxes in your backyard and sprout some CO2 sucking greenery? How awesome would that be? Brilliant mycologist cum designer Paul Stamets [6] has come up with a design that does just that: his Life Box [5] is a cardboard box impregnated with seeds that can be planted in the ground when it is done being packaging. All I can say is wanna see Amazon adopting this design soon – Amazon, please consider testing out this brilliant idea right now!
